Your configuration looks good just wasn't sure what the passive interface
stuff was all about.

I agree total with you about defining network (ethernet) for EIGRP or RIPV2.
Why only run it over the tunnel. What does this do?

I am assuming the reason to do the tunnel to begin with was to connect
two separate EIGRP areas that had OSPF or some other routing protocol
in between and redistribution wasn't possible or allowed. Or the AS had
to be the same in both of these areas. Tunnel seems like the best solution
for this.
