No, it shouldn't be excluded from the *topology* table, but it should not be
eligible for any kind of load-balancing and it is not a feasible successor
for rapid failover. Certainly you wouldn't see it in the *routing* table
unless that Fa0/1 path went away and the query process completed...

Subject: EIGRP Feasibility Condition

It could be very early in the morning and I probably am missing something
fundamental here. Look at the output below. Shouldn't the highlighted path
be excluded from the EIGRP topology table based on failing the feasibility
condition according to the current feasible distance ?
