Hey Robert, In general, yes you CAN connect two discontiguous area 0's in OSPF but you are not REQUIRED to necessarily. Another option is to have seperate OSPF processes running, and just use redistribution. If it is a giant pain in the butt to connect the two area 0's you may just want to run a seperate process of OSPF all together on one of the routers, then just redistribute that process. Does that make sense?

I was under the impression if you have OSPF in different areas of the network, it was a requirement to make sure it was one big OSPF domain. In this lab they are separate. Any thoughts?

I've been a fan of your blog ever since starting my own journey back in March and found your experiences match a lot of my own. Onto the questions: 1) How big is the desk area? 2) How big is the monitor and what is the resolution? I know these may seem dumb, but during my initial study phase, I've basically taken up my entire dining room table (seats 8) and use a 22" widescreen monitor with a really high resolution. I'd hate to get there only to find out that we have to use an old 14" CRT on an elementary school desk (I know this is not the case, but I hope you get the visualization).
