Re: eigrp set next hop

If the number of prefixes are small, and your on Cisco gear, take a look at
IP SLA as an option for manipulating static routes.  Basically it'll allow
you to setup a probe, and based on the result of the probe, dynamically
populate a given static route in the routing table or not.
