You meant to say load, didn't you?
255 load means a fully-loaded network, which is generally a bad thing. A
low load is good.
255 reliability means 100% reliability, which is a good thing. A low
reliability value is bad.
But when redistributing, I could see setting load high to make the
redistributed route less favorable. What's a bit confusing is that they
didn't set the reliability low, which would have been logical. So your
guess that they were confused seems likely!
If my brain is addled by PPP (Pumpkin Pie Preparation), forgive me. Gotta
get back to it now.
