Does not sound exactly true.
Our border router sees.
show ip route 212.15.68.2
Routing entry for 212.15.68.2/32
Known via "static", distance 1, metric 0
Redistributing via eigrp 1
Advertised by eigrp 1
Routing Descriptor Blocks:
* 10.12.16.2
Route metric is 0, traffic share count is 1
The link to the external supplier runs across 10.12.16.0/24
The link to our internal router runs across 212.15.68.0/24
The external supplier has 212.15.68.2 and 10.12.16.2 on their side and we
have 212.15.68.1 and 10.12.16.1 on our border router.
Does your explanation still apply.
