OK, guys. You're not getting it, so I'll give you a hint.

The problem is that from R3's point of view, the 2 paths to R1 are equal
cost. This is because when Eigrp figures out the cost to a destination, it
using the lowest bandwidth link anywhere along the path to the destination.
Since the path to R1's lo0 includes a single 64k link between R2 and R1,
from R3's point of view both paths to R1 are equal.

That, unfortunately, is as much as I know. What I don't know is how to
overcome this problem such that R3 unequal load balances traffic to R1 just
llike it does with traffic to R2.
