Yes, we have at least one counter-rotating ring which works fine.  I'm
not directly responsible for it, and I had forwarded the question to
the folks who are so they could respond.  I can say that I don't
recall any problems with any of our rings, counter-rotating or not,
for at least a year -- ever since we got rid of the last of our
passive wire centers, installed satellite wire centers, and brought
the firmware in our fiber drivers up to level.  However, it may be
that the support is so good that I just haven't heard about the
problems.
