Hi Joe, Congrats with your number!!
I have tried to lab up a scenario with two ospf instances on the same router, mapping the same interfaces to area 0 in both. I thought i read somewhere that OSPFv2 doesnt have any way to differentiate this on the same subnet, as OSPFv3 does with a sort of instance-field. Results show that only one adjacency will be made: R1 <-> R2, where R1 has two instances of OSPF, both marking the link between R1 and R2, as being in area 0. Only instance 1 will actually show up, and be adjacent with from R2. Are there any documentation regarding this behavior?
