I could see how a routing loop could become an issue and the design isn't
perfect but its only temporary until we get a separate T1 to the internet
instead of right now its on the same frame-relay interface as the remote
sites.

I shouldn't have an issue in this case with routing loops because router a
will have all of the default routes pointed to it from the remote sites and
router a will have a default route to router b which has the connection to
the internet.  The main worry I have is I'm wondering if I would need to
turn off icmp redirects on router a so it doesn't automagically say to the
remote sites to use router b because router b is actually closer to them.
Using the no icmp redirects.

Thanks again for all of the helpful insights.

I agree that the design itself is open to question. I am not so sure that
router_a is going to know what to do.

Hmmmm,
     Not so sure if it is a good idea though !!!
I tried this one time at work where I inserted a
static route to a network more than one hop away,
although I had "re-distribute static" on the EIGRP
configured router it created a wonderful little
routing loop and I went home late again.

Regs,

Phil.
