Re: redistribute EIGRP XX to EIGRP YY

Wow...
this prompted me to fire a lab, just for fun, and here's a couple of
findings:

-distribute connected uses a seed metric that matches the source
interface eigrp metric for that interface. In other words, this is
the same as including the interface and making it passive.

-distribute static uses a seed metric of 0. This surprised me,
but I can understand why it does it. Nevertheless, I don't like it
that much. A static route ends up being closer than a connected,
from the point of view of a remote router.

-redistribute eigrp I guess copies the source proto metric. No need to
translate (left over from igrp to eigrp ? :)
