Hi John,

Although what you have works, I have one suggestion.  Redistributing routes 
into OSPF (ie redist connected) causes your interface addresses to enter 
the OSPF domain as type 5 LSA's.  Type 5 LSA's flood throughout the entire 
OSPF domain unconstrained and cannot be controlled with the nice ABR knobs 
which provide varying degrees of stubbiness.  It is generally better 
practise to explicitly add to OSPF (via a network command) each interface 
on each router that you wish to be reachable in the OSPF domain.  If 
interfaces are not likely to form adjacencies (ie stub network interfaces), 
configuring them as passive will save on some processor cycles and provide 
a little security.  By doing things this way, your interface addresses 
enter OSPF as type1 (or 2 in some cases) LSA's which can then be 
constrained by ABR's at area borders using both the aforementioned knobs, 
or per prefix filtering if you like.
