therefore,
	When a client (2.3.4.5) registers three CIE's 
	say 
			1.2.3.4/16 nbma-a 
			1.3.4.5/16 nbma-b
	and 	1.3.4.5/8  nbma-c

	does it mean 
	
		1.2.3.4/16	nh nbma: nbma-a
		1.3.4.5/16	nh nbma: nbma-b
		1.3.4.5/8	nh nbma: nbma-c

	Where does the destination protocol address (2.3.4.5) in the NHRP 
	registration request get used in this case? Am I right in assuming
	that the dpa is not used unless there is a CIE with Cli Addr/TL, 
	Cli SAddr/CliPlen  = 0?

Thanks,
Rajesh
