|--4.4.4.4---rip------R1-----ospf------R2------eigrp-----|

i'm not sure, but i recall scott morris telling me this was possible, but
let's take a closer look.

the route 4.4.4.4 is redistributed from rip into ospf (with an AD of 110),
so R2 learns how to get to 4.4.4.4 via R1
then route 4.4.4.4 is redistributed into eigrp (with an AD of 170).. R2
would install the route via ospf over eigrp because of it's lower AD and
that would be it..... but let me try something else

|--4.4.4.4---eigrp------R1-----rip------R2------ospf-----|

let's look at this one. R1 learn the route to 4.4.4.4 via eigrp.
R2 learns the route via rip and installs it in the rip database
R2 redistributes 4.4.4.4 into ospf with an AD 110..........but i don't see
how it could install this route into the routing table when it is a stub
network, so again, it looks kosher.....

i think scott morris needs to chime in and explain, because i'm 99.982% sure
he said that a routing loop could happen in a linear topology.
scott??
