no. The above works fine for me. I literally copied and pasted all of 
the commands except the master ones which were adapted to my setup -- 
eth9 and eth11 for me instead of eth0 and eth1. tcpdump on N2, N3 show 
the right one is receiving packets based on which 'ping -I vrf<N>' is run.

Do tables 5 and 6 have the right routes?
