Hi

I am loosing my mind here with a scenario I have here:

CAT3750 have 3 vlans interfaces

for example sake:

# Incoming traffic from LAN
vlan 10
# Incoming traffic from WAN
vlan 20
# HSRP VLAN WITH Second Network Appliance
vlan 30

on vlan 10 and 20 there is a PBR set based on match from source x to route
next hop HSRP virtual IP

v10 v20
--------> CAT3750 <---------
                 ^
                 | v30
                 |
          NETWORK Appliance
Now my argument is that as long as hsrp active status is the Network
Appliance there is no problem but when the Cat3750 will become active then
that mean that next hop is his own connected Interface and that is not a
legal routing action.

But why am I sending this out to the group?! well I got some SE's in my
company that are saying hey this is the way we work for several years now
and we have an official document that was issued to us ( by a former
employee in my company, note also a CCIE) that this should work.

Well as long as I can remember this is not a legal routing action unless it
is pointing to a loopback interface where then I would use a PBR under the
global config to intercept local generated traffic and may be do a NAT or
some other stupid router tricks.

Please correct me if I am loosing my mind here as sometime when several
people tell you something you start to loose your own confidence in your
knowledge.

Thank you all in advanced
