*Really* nice brain teaser Carlos. For others that are curious, you may

specifically, see below. Funny, now I remember writing evil lab questions
and a blog about this very topic a year or so ago! Good to recall stuff like
this from time to time!

   These conditions set the forwarding address field to a non-zero address:

   -

      OSPF is enabled on the ASBR's next hop interface AND

      -

      ASBR's next hop interface is non-passive under OSPF AND

      -

      ASBR's next hop interface is *not* point-to-point AND

      -

      ASBR's next hop interface is *not* point-to-multipoint AND

      -

      ASBR's next hop interface address falls under the network range
      specified in the *router ospf* command.

       -

   Any other conditions besides these set the forwarding address to 0.0.0.0.
