Oh yes - and why 2 tunnels from the same left side to the same right
side? The left side has 2 LANs and my left side Linux router has 3
NICs. (It actually has more than 3 NICs, but 3 relevant to this issue.)
One LAN needs a "static" tunnel, the other LAN normally routes via the
MPLS cloud and wants to use my stuff for backup routing. The
interaction between the 2 LANs on the left side is strictly regulated.
Short answer - it's a couple of different departments of a big
organization and that's the way they want it.
