You probably couldn't see some of the OSPF routes because the OSPF router
wasn't using them anymore....When the OSPF router initially advertised them
to the IGRP router, the IGRP router (which can violate split-horizon because
you are using a physical interface with frame-relay) advertised them right
back....WHen the OSPF router heard the advertisement (with a lower
administrative distance) from IGRP, it probably added these routes as IGRP
routes, which would stop it from redistributing these routes into
IGRP...When you switched to a multipoint subinterface, split-horizon was
enforced, and the problem was solved...You could have accomplished the same
thing with "ip split-horizon" on the physical interface on the IGRP router.
