Kyle,
If the loopback interface has more purpose than router ID, definately
include define it as part of the area range, to aid summarisation. That
includes dlsw peer IP address, IP for unnumbered interfaces (async
virtual-access interface), are just a couple that can be thought of.
Regards
Bernard.

aybe I should use addresses like 172.16.1.1/32, 172.16.2.2, 172.16.3.3, etc in
order make summarization using the area range command more useful.
