Howard,
I think I see where you're going. The default on the "DIO"
command is
applying an "E2" to the default as it is sent into the enterprise. It is
also
known that by order of preference that "E2" routes are least preffered.
So based
on your hint.. I'm thinking making use of the "metric-type" parameter to
make
the default-route an "E1" metric which would provide known route info
into the
ISP's network. Nope..this isn't it.
In thinking about this even more when I was posting the very first
time to this thread I taught..yes, that's it..but opt'd not to mention
it.
Now it dawns on me that the default nature of (cisco's)ospf is to use 4
equal-cost
routes. So now "maximum-paths 2" sounds like the way to go.
the hint knocked me over the head..:->
