Quick and dirty way to identify issues regarding redistribution

Guys,

So i ran into a brick wall last night which is IE's Workbook 3 Lab 8
(Thanks Brians!). I thought i was really starting to get into the
groove and this took me down a peg.

With that said i actually ran into the section near the end where the
redistribution happened. I was sitting in front of my routers just
absolutely dumfounded and saved the configs and quit the lab early.

I have listened to a few VOD's, did all of the basic lab scenarios
regarding redistribution and even can deal with redistribution in a
typical "i have two routers and they both have EIGRP and OSPF talking
and you need to redistribute on both questions", so i think i got the
BASIC jist of it down.

Is there a methodolgy the truly experienced use to see the big
picture with extremely complex redistribution. Maybe like a playbook
one uses. I have read some folks tag their redistributed routes,
others will allow redistribution on one router and immediately
disallow on the second.. maybe a combination of both.

Any suggestions on getting a truly in-depth understanding of
redistribution would be extremely helpful right now. If that means
labbing up some silly scenarios maybe someone can share a template of
what i should be labbing up?

How did you really learn redistribution.

Regards,
Nate
