Nevermind, I've answered my own question by testing. A static route
definitely has an AD of 1 regardless of the destination. If you simply do a
"show ip route static" you won't see an administrative distance listed; it
will show as directly connected. However, if you look at a specific static
route, like 'show ip route 10.1.1.1', no matter which destination you used
it will look like this:
Router#sho ip route 20.1.1.1
Routing entry for 20.1.1.1/32
Known via "static", distance 1, metric 0 (connected)
Redistributing via eigrp 1
Routing Descriptor Blocks:
* 172.16.10.75
Route metric is 0, traffic share count is 1
directly connected, via Ethernet0/2
Route metric is 0, traffic share count is 1
This output is caused by having both flavors of static route in the routing
table at the same time. If the AD of one of them was actually zero it would
be the only one listed. In this case, they both have an AD of 1.
