PBR on a pair of 6500 core switches to send traffic over some new
links to a business partner, 10 branches at a time. Wasn't my
preferred option but the decision makers weren't convinced that the
successful pilot was actually successful. Idiots. Found an IOS bug
with that one too.

Multiple OSPF processes on some FWSMs to selectively send
redistributed statics in either direction. Wouldn't have needed OSPF
at all if the FWSMs supported HSRP or VRRP.
