 TS> Why?

Because you say that WP allows only one active uplink per area.........  
OK, I get that.

Then you say that an area can be received from multiple uplinks...........
OK, I get that also.

It's the rest of it that has me confused. Perhaps I should do some tests  
to see what actually happens, stay tooooooooned ;))
