Hi Scott,

Following is a scenario, which I have asked before but couldn't find a
suitable reply.

  EIGRP OSPF
----------R1-----------R2
  EIGRP OSPF |
----------R3------------|

Both R1 and R3 is redistributing EIGRP routes into OSPF. R3 would load
balance across the 2 routers to reach EIGRP routes assuming that R1 and R3
are passing the EIGRP routes with metric-type of E2 and an equal metric.

I am using DISTANCE command at R2 to match the route which should be
preferred via R3. The route is being learned from both R1 and R3 as mutual
redistribution has been configured between OSPF and EIGRP on both R1 and R3.
I am also using the source ip address as the router-id of the R3 in the
distance command. Below is the configuration on R2

router ospf 1
distance 80 3.3.3.3 0.0.0.0 1 (Where 3.3.3.3 is the router-id of R3)

access-list 1 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255

This however, is not working. The above configuration changes the AD for
both the routes from both R1 and R3.

Please help me in understanding and solving this.

Thanks,
Sridhar.
