Jim, in my case, the configuration is as follow:

router eigrp 100
 redistribute ospf 599 metric 100 100 255 1 1500
 network 20.0.0.0
 no auto-summary
!
router ospf 599
 redistribute eigrp 100 subnets
 network 10.3.3.3 0.0.0.0 area 3
 network 10.10.3.3 0.0.0.0 area 0

( yes I know. But I always screw with the eigrp metrics, just to see what
happens. And everything is working correctly now, with this identical
configuration )

Here is what SHOULD happen, and what NOW happens after the clear ip ospf
process:

R4 has a routing table that contains the eigrp external routes, with an AD
of 170 ( sorry - I was misusing the term "metric" in previous posts ) and
the eigrp metric.

OSPF becomes active, and the router sees routes with a better AD come into
the router, and installs them into the routing table. As shown from a debug
ip routing trace:

RT: closer admin distance for 10.1.0.0, flushing 1 routes
<-----------------------
RT: add 10.1.0.0/16 via 20.253.253.5, ospf metric [110/74]
<----------------------
RT: closer admin distance for 10.3.0.0, flushing 1 routes
RT: add 10.3.0.0/16 via 20.253.253.5, ospf metric [110/138]
RT: closer admin distance for 10.10.2.0, flushing 1 routes
RT: add 10.10.2.0/24 via 20.253.253.5, ospf metric [110/128]

This apparently did not happen when I originally built the network. Several
clear ip rout * did not yield this result.
Unfortunately I did not have the presence of mind to do the debug ip routing
at the time I was troubleshooting the original problem.

How is R3 configured to prevent the EIGRP route that is redistributed into
OSPF from being redistributed back into EIGRP and vice versa with OSPF to
EIGRP?

By the way - I could reproduce Chuck's scenario.

To recap:

R1---R4
| |
R3--R6

R1 - ospf only, R6 - eigrp only. R3 - mutually distributes each other. R4
- runs both protocols, but does not redistribute.

On R4 I got connected router (between R1 and R3) as EIGRP external. Had it
at least for 17 minutes. Checked after 10 minutes - got right one. After a
while - EIGRP external showed up. So it's flapping.

EIGRP - 172.16.0.0
OSPF - 192.168.13.0 (between R1 and R3), 192.168.14.0 (R1 and R4)
