Gregg, is it possible to post configs here, including sh ip ro, since I
would be interested in knowing how R9 and R7 are deriving each other;s
addresses from (statics pointing R6s way bothways, or via OSPF)..

Sure its a curly one, but I think its possible.. Could we use policy routing
as well ? (is it an option). Since we need to go beyond the next hop
functionality, we may need to tweak the next hops differently.
