I'm a fan of getting things right. A server somewhere 5 subnets away
doesn't really know what routers are working on my subnet. It can take
a guess and then wait for people to complain and then an admin to fix
stuff if the guess is wrong, but I wouldn't call that a "smart edge".
Always learn information from the place where it's actually known.
