Hi Dennis,

Yes correct, sorry I should have pointed out that the 10.0.0.0/8 route
is a static route on Site 1.
The default routes on the other sites point to Site 1, hence being able
to route to a subnet beginning 10.x.x.x that isn't explicitly defined.
Since you mention it I hadn't considered that - if that's not in there
then that shouldn't be the issue...

Nick.

I don't see the 10.0.0.0/8 in the config snippet provided. I guess there
are more OSPF areas in your network then, how are they interconnected ?

Redistribute static subnets should do the trick, provided this is a
normal OSPF area.

Also, do you have any particular reason for the metric 1 and permanent
options on the static ?

What do the following commands show:
conf
router
show ip route ospf
show ip route static
