RE: eigrp auto-summary and a null 0 route

First of all, a classful summary route to null, this is to terminate
packet destination
for the same classful address but no best path. In eigrp, if auto
summary is on, it will generate the summary route for those route it
advertise. This may not desire, so you can
turn it off and do selected summarization. This allow the flexibility
and you have the control.

We are not crossing any classful boundaries here.
We are still in the same router.
