I basically agree with Francis' points above, with one provisio. I may occasionally be possible for a router (with a static route via a non LL next-hop) to discover the corresponding LL and hence validate redirects. Hence I'd say the answer to the second point is that you're only guarenteed to be able to get working redirects if a LL next hop is used. With a non LL next-hop it's imp. (and specific config) dependent if you'll get working redirects.
