Hi all,
Not sure about how distance command works in OSPF.  I am working in a 
frame-relay hub an spoke environment with three routers R1, R2, and R5 
(R5 as the hub). OSPF network-type has been set as point-to-multipoint 
non-broadcast, and neighbor cost has been modified to use one of the 
neighbors (R1) as the preferred path...
Here are my configs...
On R5...
********
router ospf 1
 router-id 150.1.5.5
 log-adjacency-changes
 redistribute eigrp 10 metric-type 1 subnets
 network 150.1.5.5 0.0.0.0 area 0
 network 173.1.125.5 0.0.0.0 area 0    <--- This is ip addressing on 
frame-relay
 neighbor 173.1.125.1 cost 130
 neighbor 173.1.125.2 cost 1562
 distance 109 173.1.125.2 0.0.0.0 BGP_DLSW
ip access-list standard BGP_DLSW
 permit 150.1.2.0 0.0.0.255
On R1...
********
router ospf 1
 router-id 150.1.1.1
 log-adjacency-changes
 network 150.1.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 0
 network 173.1.13.1 0.0.0.0 area 0
 network 173.1.125.1 0.0.0.0 area 0
 network 173.1.137.1 0.0.0.0 area 137
On R2...
********
router ospf 1
 router-id 150.1.2.2
 log-adjacency-changes
 area 23 nssa default-information-originate metric 100
 network 150.1.2.2 0.0.0.0 area 0
 network 173.1.23.2 0.0.0.0 area 23
 network 173.1.32.2 0.0.0.0 area 0
 network 173.1.125.2 0.0.0.0 area 0
 distance 109 173.1.125.5 0.0.0.0 BGP_DLSW
ip access-list standard BGP_DLSW
 permit 150.1.5.0 0.0.0.255
My point is to make R2 (173.1.125.2) as the next-hop to R2 loopback 
address on R5, and R5 (173.1.125.5) as the next-hop to R5 loopback 
address on R2. This way I would force BGP and DLSW session to be 
stablished over the low speed frame-relay circuit between R2 and R5, 
overriding the cost of the circuit.
Nontheless, I get no change on the routing table of R5 and R2.
I have also tried using router-id as the source of the routing 
information in the distance command (i.e "distance 109 150.1.2.2 
0.0.0.0 BGP_DLSW" on router R5 and so on). With this configuration I 
get the AD of the route change, but the next hop still points to R1. 
I guess I have some missunderstanding on the technology. Could anyone 
put some light on the issue?...
Thank you in advance
JT
