It does make sense ... unfortunately the ABR is running IOS-XR and I have been unable to find a way to filter outbound LSAs (unless you want to filter everything.)

If the ABR outer is receiving the /24 from a downstream router on a
different area  and that ABR is also generating a /8 IA to the backbone,
you can just filter out the /24 to other areas via a distribute list.

That way you still have the more specific  /24 on the ABR but the other
routers on area 0 and other areas only see the /8 coming from that ABR.

The /24 will be naturally hidden behind the /8.

I hope it made sense.

    Fabio,

    Thank you for the response! Yes -- that's exactly what I'm trying to
    do. However, the problem is this:

    If I use the "summary-address" command, it not only masks it on the
    rest of the backbone, it masks it on the ABR too. Consequently I
    have to add a static route to the downstream router for *MailScanner
    warning: numerical links are often malicious:* 10.100.0.0/24
    <http://10.100.0.0/24>.

    If I have to add statics on the ABR for every downstream
    redistributed static, it's almost not worth even running OSPF
    between the two.

    What I'm looking for is a way for the static to appear on the ABR,
    but not beyond it. (I.e., mask it everywhere except the ABR.)

    Hope that makes sense ... thanks!

            If I understood correctly you are generating an IA LSA via
        the area
            range command on the ABR and are also receiving a E1/2 LSA
        for a /24
            that is part of the IA range and want to mask it behind that
        same IA
            LSA.

            One simple way to do it is use the summary command under the
        ospf
            process, announcing a *MailScanner warning: numerical links are
            often malicious:* *MailScanner warning: numerical links are
        often malicious:* 10.0.0.0/8 <http://10.0.0.0/8> <*MailScanner
        warning: numerical links are often malicious:* http://10.0.0.0/8
        <http://10.0.0.0/8>> to the backbone area.

            Now the backbone has an IA for *MailScanner warning:
        numerical links
            are often malicious:* *MailScanner warning: numerical links
        are often malicious:* 10.0.0.0/8 <http://10.0.0.0/8>
        <*MailScanner warning: numerical links are often malicious:*
        http://10.0.0.0/8 <http://10.0.0.0/8>> and a E1/2 for
            the same prefix.

            In that case the IA will be preferred.

            Since the 10.100 subnet is behind the same ABR that's
        generating the
            *MailScanner warning: numerical links are often malicious:*
            *MailScanner warning: numerical links are often malicious:*
        10.0.0.0/8 <http://10.0.0.0/8> <*MailScanner warning: numerical
        links are often malicious:* http://10.0.0.0/8
        <http://10.0.0.0/8>> IA into the backbone, you will not
            have any connectivity problems by doing that.
