Rx ---area 5------R2----area 0-------R3------------- | | area 0 | | | Ry ---area 5------R1-------------------------area 0-- R1, R2 and R3 are connected through area 0. R1 and R2 are ABRs for area 5. I am wondering if R1 and R2 should be connected through area 5 for a better design. The bad situation I see is that Rx and Ry will have different databases, although they are in the same area. From the routing table standpoint there will be conectivity. Any Thoughts?
