A couple of things come to mind. Distribute-lists assuming your routing domains exhibet any kind of rational organization, you could filterthose routes wihich are re-entering and being trashed by the lower OSPF admin distance. Prefix-lists also assuming there is some rhyme and reason to the domain organizations. I've gotten to where I like prefix-lists better than distribute-lists. As with anything networking, their usefulness depends on a lot of things. Route-maps similar to distribute-lists can use an access-list or a prefix-list as the seed Route tags ( used with route-maps ) gets a little trickier. your access-lists have to be right on. assign a tag value to routes coming in from one domain into the other, then filter those at the other redistribution point. come to think of it, you may be able to tag the routes coming into either domain using the redistribute command switch. (checks CCO) yeah, looks like it. You could also filter from EIGRP into OSPF by filtering EIGRP external routes - this would block routes that originated with OSPF from gong back into the domain. Not that it matters a lot because of the admin distance. A better way would be to filter OSPF external routes from entering the EIGRP domain. This can cause havoc if you have an ABSR somewhere and need those externals to get to EIGRP. gets complex fast, doen't it :-> depending upon the level of expertise for which you are sudying, you may want to have all of these tools as part of your bag of tricks. never can tell when they might be useful.
