Sadiq,
No there is one, and only one point of redistribution. The rip routing
information has no way through the ospf domain to get back to the
originating router(redistribution point) t. Thats why I didn't bothr with a
detailed description of the network.
I'm only talking about one point of redistribution between the two routing
domains. There are no other points of redistribution between the ospf and
rip domains. The rip domain does connect to a backbone router which is part
of the rip domain.. So there again I'm wondering why make the AD on the
redistributed ospf routes lower than the ospf routes on that router? What
is it about the rip domain that would require that when there are no other
redistribution points for that network?
