[nsp] EIGRP and loopback

[Stephen J. Wilcox]

what was the trouble?

it should be fine on an ethernet p2p config'd as below

if you dont want to rely on multicast you can configure explicit neighbor 
statements but you should use the ethernet IP not loopback

dont think it will even work on loopback, (this is an igp not BGP/egp)
