Whats happening here is prolly... (These are just a pointers, I will try to
lab up ur scenario tonight)

* The networks which are running OSPF are getting included in IGRP/RIP,
same for RIP network (getting included in IGRP).
* Are you using distribute lists to allow only specific networks in/out of
redistributed protocols
* Are you redistributing between RIP & IGRP on R2 ?
* The trouble seems to be arising out of OSPF learning the prefixes back
from IGRP and since OSPF distance is lower than RIP, on other hand IGRP's
distance is lower than OSPF, so unless you are using that ISDN link for some
backup, filter out (if using for backup, then increase IGRP's distance)
* Filter OSPF routes on R2 coming from frame relay to disallow RIP
redistributed routes (which could have been fed back into OSPF, since there
are 2 redistribution points)
