I don't know, I thought Scott Morris's idea of tagging all routes with their
"native" AD was quite brilliant. Sure makes things easy to keep straight
(although I confess I haven't done too much in the way of redistribution
labs at this juncture in my studies, so I'm certainly no expert on the
subject).

Subject: Re: Redistribution with route tags are KILLING ME!!!`
Actually, I use route-tags in two cases
- one of the protocols is already carrying external routes from
elsewhere
- one of the protocols is RIP, which has no concept of External routes
Except for these two cases, so far I successfullly implement loop free
redistribution by matching internal routes ( in the case of OSPF ) or
matching route-type Internal ( for the case of EIGRP ).
I think the use of route-tags is generally overused, perhaps overtrained, so
much so that you end up using it on every redistribution scenario without
understanding what you are trying to accomplish. Could waste quite a lot of
time at the best, and you could get it all wrong at the worst !
