[nsp] EIGRP looping problem but not SIA ?

Eric,

I'd start with "debug ip routing <acl>" with an <acl> which lists all
the networks you're concerned with on different routers within your
network. This should give you an idea on why these EIGRP routes are
flapping. This looks like a config issue to me, like improper
redistribution between EIGRP and a different protocol or between BGP and
EIGRP.

One comment though:

You configured a floating static NULL route (ip route 10.2.68.0
255.255.252.0 Null0 254), so if the router knows this route via a
protocol with a lower admin-distance than 254, it will take this one,
this is what you're seeing, and this is expected behaviour.. 
You want to find out why the eigrp routes are flapping (you can see this
by looking at the "00:00:11 ago"-timestamp).
