[c-nsp] ASA / EIGRP / Redundant Interfaces

[Jason Link]

Maybe that's the best option here.  I can't seem to find any other way to do it cleanly.

Thanks!

Yes of course, if the ASA has to do EIGRP my suggestion is irrelevant. I
overlooked that somewhat since I'm not used to thinking about having
firewalls do dynamic routing. :-)

The HSRP thing would of course be with the ASA not participating in the
EIGRP. On the ASA side you would use static routes pointing at the HSRP
IP. On the router side you would use static routes pointing at the ASA
primary IP.
