Re: IE OEQ Question...

I don't see an S there.... The D indicates to me a summary-address
command created this. IF there was a static route, it has a higher AD
value and isn't part of the equation anyway!

But I'll track the question down and see what else is surrounding that
one if it's one of ours! :)
