Landon,

Ok let me see if I get the picture here..

When you redistribute in R4 to OSPF you are going to have an external
(e2, e1) ospf route that you can TAG.
This route is learnt by R3 via OSPF and EIGRP.. but by means of the AD
then the route is going to be preferred via OSPF write?
If this is ok for you, then why not filtering at R3 using the TAG that
R4 set (or viceversas)?
also comes into my mind that I you can filter by means of the tag in the
mutual redistribution process at R3 and R4, also you can filter by the
type of the route that is external, Let me know your opinion..

Thanks for the clarification

Victor
