This is a joke, correct?
You're proposing fixing broken routing using a non-standard protocol. IIRC
EIGRP uses IP multicast for announcements (same as OSPF) so you'd need to run
it over some sort of tunnel (gre) interface anyways.
Just use BGP with a private AS up to the edge Internet connected BGP nodes if
you're building tunnels.
Tim Osburn and myself (and others) had proposed standards based way to move
the IPIP tunnels to a redundant gateway design a few years back. It's not
hard, but there is no movement from ARDC to actually move forward with it.
I'd be happy with a study of proposed ideas, at least it's forward movement.
