Thanks so much for all the feedback. All your input has been extremely helpful. Just to clarify: In our network core all customer routes are summarized and carried in iBGP. That was a recent change of mine. We use EIGRP to carry loopback and next hop information. I'm working on migrating us to IS-IS currently. (Hmm...that last sentence probably just opened up another can of worms...) At the network edge we use heavily filtered EIGRP. I was already leaning towards static routes, based on this groups input I would say that it will be a new priority.

I highly recommend that you do so. It really does work better. It's very nice seeing your OSPF config carry essentially just the loopback interfaces.
In particular I'm wondering about the thousands of lines of configuration used to make static routes work.
You don't say whether you're using Cisco, but recent IOSes have no trouble with huge configurations. You may have to use 'service compress-config'. -- Bruce Robertson, President/CEO +1-775-348-7299 Great Basin Internet Services, Inc. fax: +1-775-348-9412 http://www.greatbasin.net
