RE: Injecting loopback

Got it. It is not a task requirement, but I was getting sup-optimal paths when "tracing" loopback address.

Thanks Rick.

Definitely not, it's the right approach.
It's the only way to get the loopback addresses to be an internal address, if that is a task requirement.

If it's not and it's not specifically asked in a question to inject the loopback, but you do have a full reach ability requirement, I would use redistribute connected with a route-map matching all interfaces that are not in a routing protocol yet.
