You should respond with whichever route the router will use for that
destination,
whether or not it is a RIP route. This is true for all queries.

Hi,
 
    In RIP, RIPng If we get a specific request for a particualr desination,
RFC's say
that we should respond without doing split-horizon processing. Does that
mean that
we should respond with only RIP route. 
 
Say there is a BGP/OSPF route for desination 210.1.1.0/24 and we got a
specific request
for that destination
 
    Case 1: There is a RIP route with cost 4 which is inactive
(Administrative distance)
    Case 2: There is no RIP route to the destination (BGP/OSPF's route is
there with cost XYZ)
 
Which metric should we respond with. 
 
Regards
Nanda kishore
