[nsp] Retaining EIGRP metrics when using BGP

[Temkin, David]

Silly suggestion - run a GRE tunnel between the two to directly exchange
EIGRP information?

Is it possible to transport EIGRP metrics across a BGP backbone?

D       128.103.1.0 [90/307200] via 128.104.1.1, 00:07:23, Ethernet0/0

D       128.102.1.0 [90/412300] via 128.104.1.1, 00:07:23, Ethernet0/0

These two routes are in Router 1.  Router 1 and Router 2 connect to each
other using eBGP with many transit AS's in between.  Router 2
redistributes BGP back into EIGRP.  Is there any way for router 2 to see
the metric 307200 for network 128.103.1.0 when it is redistributed from
BGP into EIGRP and 412300 for network 128.102.1.0 when it is
redistributed from BGP into EIGRP (basically making the entire BGP cloud
look like a private line)?
