I don't want the CAS to become an EIGRP neighbor or a router. I want to put a router on the untrusted side of the CAS and another router on the trusted side and I want an EIGRP neighbor relationship between the 2 routers with the CAS in between acting as a bridge.

The CAS is an appliance, designed to perform a specific function in the NAC deployment. While it might be able to function as a router, you will now be asking the appliance to perform a function other than the one for which it was originally intended, and deployed. The appliance now will have to maintain a routing table, and a link table, and depending upon the size of such tables, may consume additional resources (memory/CPU) within the appliance - a resource utilization increase that wasn't accounted for when the appliance was spec'd/sized. Furthermore, you have added complexity to troubleshooting of any issues on the device, as the device is now serving an ancilliary function as well as the one for which it was intended. rebooting an appliance in the course is one thing. With what you are proposing to do, every time you need to do maintenance on the CAS, you will also be doing maintenance on a router. Let a router perform this function if at all possible.

I can't imagine why it wouldn't work but I've seen too many unimaginable things happen since I entered this NAC world.
