I think that there is only one lab that requires dual OSPF processes.
This is the only time that we ever touch on dual OSPF processes because in
the real lab the only time you will use them is when you are answering a
question incorrectly ;-)

Thanks Scott...
I am going through the IE-VOL3 labs right now, and some of them have these
double processes to meet the requirements. But I cannot quite put my finger
on it.
Yes, it goes without saying you want to avoid this in the real world (the "2
a.m. in the morning" syndrome)
