I have ETinc+OSPF(gated) working just fine.  

It took me a while to find the magic bullet though.


Here are some snippets from a gated.conf file...



routerid 209.157.69.253 ;

rip no ;

bgp no ;

ospf yes {
        backbone {
                authtype simple ;
                networks {
                        209.157.64.0 mask 255.255.224.0;
                        140.174.82.0 mask 255.255.255.0;
                        209.66.121.0 mask 255.255.255.0;
                } ;
                interface eth0 nonbroadcast {
                                pollinterval 2;
#                               routers {
#                                       209.157.69.21 eligible ;
#                               } ;
                                enable ;
                                retransmitinterval 2;
                                authkey "latenite" ;
                                transitdelay 1;
                                priority 88;
                                hellointerval 2;
                                routerdeadinterval 10;
                        } ;
                stubhosts {
                        209.157.69.253 cost 1 ;
                } ;
        } ;
        traceoptions "/var/log/gated.ospf.log" size 1m files 5 packets;
} ;



The trick was that I had to identify the interface by name
rather than IP address.
