This is a great scenario! Luke, thanks a lot for this one!

You can't achieve you goal using EIGRP and/or OSPF summarization. You are
trying to go from /22 to /24. If you try creating "ip summary-address eigrp"
on R5, R3 will lose connectivity to R5's IP address. Actually, if you think
about it, you won't be able to ping even the local interface! :) Hah! R3
should have two routes:

C 172.16.24.0/22 directly connected
D 172.16.24.0/24 via 172.16.24.5

If you try to ping local interface (172.16.24.3), you should not be able to.
I'm pretty sure about it. It will loop through the routing table. It will
try to find 172.16.24.3 and will match a more specific EIGRP route pointing
172.16.24.5. So it will try to find 172.16.24.5 and will match the same
route again and then fail, resulting in unsuccessful pings. Heh heh. That's
why you never want to put summary-address statements on EIGRP interfaces
specifing a more specific subnet than then the network of the interface!

Ok, you could also create OSPF summary-address on R3. But you will have the
same problem. OSPF will create a route to NULL0, that will block all of the
traffic destined for 172.16.24.0/22.

The only way out is creating 4 static routes on R3 and redistributing them
into OSPF.

ip route 172.16.24.0 255.255.255.0 eth0
ip route 172.16.25.0 255.255.255.0 eth0
ip route 172.16.26.0 255.255.255.0 eth0
ip route 172.16.27.0 255.255.255.0 eth0
