It's not only that, but the Cisco will send RIP responses containing
valid routes to these secondary requests to RIP request broadcasts
on the primary address. The machines on the primary net know routes
to the secondary nets for a little while, and then their RIP entries
time out.

If you are going to put routes to the secondary interfaces in RIP
responses to RIP requests from port 540, they should be in the
normal RIP updates too.

It's a great pump fake to think you have everything configured right
and then WHAM!
