Yes, but there is one thing that we MUST remember about inverse-arp is this.
If you are using inverse-arp to get the hub's information, then you add the
map to get to the other spoke, you will be able to get to both the other
spoke and the hub ... until you reboot. When rebooting occurs, the map
statement will disable inverse-arp for that protocol and DLCI; therefore,
use map statements for both.

Just my 2 cents...

Hey John, I fly back Wednesday to San Jose. Wish me luck.

That is the answer. Because the spokes do not have frame map commands for
the other spoke router it can not talk. Since R3 has the interface with the
highest IP it becomes the DR. Since R2 can not talk to R3 and only to the
hub it looses all routes.

I'm not sure in your particular case, but I did notice that your hub router
is not "guaranteed" to be the OSPF Designated Router for the "Wan Segment".

I usually always configure the Hub Serial interface (or sub interface) with
a "ip ospf priority 2" and then I give the spoke routers "ip ospf priority
0". This will guarantee that the hub router will always be the OSPF DR on
the WAN - the way you want it to be!!!

Add it to your config, restart ospf and see if it works.

I thought that I would change the subject since we have beat IPX to death.
Below is a setup for a multipoint Frame network. Why does router R2 loose
all OSPF routes when the PVC to R6 comes up? Why does R3 and R6 maintain
routes from OSPF?
