Hi Group,
              I am sure that many of you have read the posts on GS concern
redistribution using -just- admin distances. My personal conclusions are that
this type of redistribution can cause temporary routing loops and route feed
back. In one case, I have seen distance based redistribution cause a loop
lasting 240 seconds.(RIP Flush time) I've observed that it is possible to make
this type redistribution work, but it's far from bullet proof. My new
philosophy is to block feed back using whatever method is a available, e.g.
route-maps, distribution list, etc. If anyone is interested in the scenarios
that brought me to this conclusions, please email me and I'll explain in
detail.

In any event, I'm interested to know if anyone has come to similar conclusions
or even what the current best practices are regarding redistribution.

Thanks,
Alsontra
