Yes but now you have static routes to manage.

Bill,

I think you are correct here. Every place I've deployed VG224's we've already been running the advanced image for one reason or another anyway. If we weren't, doing static routes and redistribution sounds correct. Would just be "eigrp stub connected static" in that case, right?

In that design I have always ran into the issue that the switches only support stub routing so they will not advertise the loopback adaptor of the VG because it is not directly connected. Then I have to get into static routes on the switch and redistributing them. Or purchase the image which makes the price too high.
