Correct... I was seeing if I could take the Nokia HA one step further to its
routing function since it is a router also. Looks like no one out here has
done this yet.

I don't think so. Nokia HA is for firewall redundancy. Router redundancy
would be handled by, well, the routers.
FWIW...Nokia will probably never support EIGRP.

I assume by "fail over" you mean "failure". You are corrent, the interior
router now becomes a possible failure point. This must be taken into
account in the implimentation (think HSRP), but it does not defeat the
purpose of having redundant firewalls.
