Great, one other point for you to consider is how things can get messed
up on the BSR itself.

The BSR is responsible for tracking all the RP-candidates and so it  
would
know that one RP was bidir while the other was ASM and so it may refer
to its RP-cache and find a different RP than the BSR clients would.
(This might be an implementation question, but I'm pretty sure that
most implementations will have this problem)
