I loathe complicated redistribution tasks but I wouldn't do as you've
suggested for two reasons:
1. VERY bad habit to get into, thinking that one or two points shouldn't
matter all that much - you need every single point, IMHO. Sucks to fail
with a 79.
2. You will telegraph to the proctors that you are not an expert or that
you are not motivated enough to be awarded a number. This will come into
play when they have the latitude to either award you a given block of points
or not award you those points (theoretically this could occur when you're
really close to the correct answer but the automated grading scripts didn't
give you the points first time around). So if you were really close on,
say, an OSPF task, they might reflect back to your effort in the
redistribution task and decide that you need some more time on the home
rack - no OSPF points. I wouldn't take that chance, personally...

Subject: Ignoring redistribution complexities
Hi Experts!
I was just wondering what if I ignore the complicated tasks asked in
redistribution questions like "making Rx use RY as next-hop to reach Z
network and " or " these routes should not be seen on RX after
redistribution" and just do simple redistribution with end to end
reachibility to all routes while maintaing loop free. This
technique might cost me 2-3 points but it saves me alot time. Is it an
acceptable way to tackle things?

Raheel
