Hi,Paul.
It's a very excellent lecture.
I lab it according to your description.
Without filtering,there will be really some problems.

I think filtering routes learned from ospf is enough, when restributing
eigrp to ospf domain.
There won't be loop whithin eigrp domain,because of AD of intenal(90) < AD
of external (170).

Is it?
