I guess I wasn't clear enough. Priority is assigned to a router, not to
an address. So a router must own all addresses in a VR or none of them.
If you want it to own one but not another, you use two VRs.

I suppose you could call it a violation of the standard, but the
important point is that there's no way to express it: the protocol
has a priority that expresses the router's relation to the VR: there
simply is no concept of (and no field to express) a router's
"priority" for a particular address.

Then Router1 should own C. Is there some problem with that?
Didn't I take this conversation off line? Why do you think
the whole group needs to discuss it?
