>From what I've seen both ends of the redundant link won't be blocking, one will be forwarding on one end, and one will be blocking. If you refer to the original spanning tree diagram drawing in this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanning_tree_protocol diagram 5 you'll see one end of the redundant link is set to designated forwarding, and one is blocking. I believe this is what you're describing? I think this is due to spanning tree's requirement that one port on a segment must be chosen for a forwarding, or designated role. Hope that helps.
