Howdy, That doesn't make sense. There may be multiple next hops out A. If the next hop in the FIB is out C, how would the router pick the next hop to send to out A? Anyway, Randy's comment was about source address selection, not routing. With the packet coming from S into interface A, he'd prefer that the ICMP error message be sourced from the IP address assigned to A, not the IP address assigned to C or R.
