William - thank you. Your note told me on I was on the right track. What I
didn't realize :-( was that I actually had 2 virtual links running to the
same multi-point router. Since I only concentrated on one virtual link - I
missed the fact the rest of my routing was also having problems.

<< File: Card for William.Darkwah >> I ran into this kind
of problem just last night. It depends on how your network
is setup.
If your ospf network is point-to-point you should be fine at
all times. however
if you have broadcast then you should be careful about which
router becomes the
DR and BDR. OSPF type 5 will only be sent out by the DR on a
broadcast network
so if you reboot and change the DR that might create some
problems. My
suggestion is use interface ospf priority configuration to
set you DR. The same
thing goes for nssa trying to propagate type 7 LSAs.
Hopefully this helps.
