Brian,
Let me lab this up later today and I'll follow up with my findings.
Also we have a new "solution" being released Monday or Tuesday for
people to ask questions exactly like this directly to us (Brian McGahan,
Petr Lapukhov and myself). Additionally you'll be able to use the new
solution to find frequently asked questions regarding the tasks and
their solutions.
In the real lab you shouldn't expect route redistribution to be very
complex. On a scale of 1 to 10 with topics like ethernet switching and
OSPF being an 8 or 9, route redistribution would be a 3 or 4.

Subject: Frustrated with Lab 2 Task 4.11
