My Cisco OSPF networks works just like I think it should.

But I've been putting in FreeBSD routers for it's more sophisticated
abilities, but I'm getting stuck in one small area.

With the following configuration:


Internet -> A -> B -> C -> D

where A/B/C/D are all FreeBSD boxes/routers, some running gated, some
running zebra while I experiment.

Given that the total # of routers will be small, I plan on just lumping
everything into the backbone area.

As it sits right now, with everything configured in area 0, A B C see all
their connected/static routes.  C sees routes from D, but doesn't
propogate them to B or A.

If D is in area 0 as well, is it a requirement that there be a virtual
link from D to A?  My understanding of the virtual link requirement was
only if D was in a different area, then D also needed connectivity to the
backbone area.

I'm tempted to convert everything to bgp, which I have more experience
with, and see if it works getter.  Either way is fine with me...

Any tips appreciated.  Can send config files on request, they're changing
pretty fast as I try stuff.
