As you can probably tell there isn't much documentation on this topic
and that's for the reason. The reason being is that you shouldn't need
to set the administrative distance of two protocols (i.e. static, EIGRP,
OSPF, RIP, etc) to be the same. Below is Cisco's definition of
administrative distance:
<quote>
Administrative distance is the feature that routers use in order to
select the best path when there are two or more different routes to the
same destination from two different routing protocols. Administrative
distance defines the reliability of a routing protocol. Each routing
protocol is prioritized in order of most to least reliable (believable)
with the help of an administrative distance value.
</quote>
Note that it doesn't mention anything about a "tie breaker" if the
administrative distance is the same.
