The Routing Domain stuff is still somewhat unclear to me.

I understand from the MIB that the Domain is a second
key (along with IP address) to the peer table.
This implies that a router can have the same IP
address associated with more than one domain.
However, the Domain does not seem to be a key to the 
ifconf table, as if each RIP Interface belonged to 
only one domain.
Am I missing something here (or is it the MIB that's
missing something ?)

Another, even more confused question, is about passing
routing information between domains:
A router operating in two RIP2 routing domains shouldn't 
include in its RIP messages to one domain its routing table 
entries that belong to the other domain, should it ?
Is the router expected to do route leaking between them ? 
Based on configured policies ?
