Apologies,
my last post was intended to arrive before the last one you posted Top.
I was posting this while the last message came in.

If your address space in the EIGRP side of things is contiguous then a
straight forward ACL/Prefix list should do. If it isn't and there is a mix
of addresses in the same block coming from "outside" as well as "inside"
then the ACLs may have to change as the network does and may not be the most
efficient way of doing it.

I haven't come up with a better way of doing this but thats definately not
to say that there isn't one.

Regards,

Pete
