OSPF NSSA default routes - again

Hi,

I've searched the archives and seen a fair bit written about NSSA default
routes but I cant find an answer to my question. I have the following set up

R1--area0----R5-----area7------R7

area 7 is configd as NSSA.

I have a loop back interface configd on R7 where I point a static default
route. Config as follows

R7

router ospf 100
 redistribute static subnets
 network 10.1.7.7 0.0.0.0 area 7
 default-information originate always
 area 7 nssa default-information-originate

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Loopback1

R5

router ospf 100
 area 7 nssa
 redistribute connected subnets
 network 10.1.7.5 0.0.0.0 area 7
 network 10.5.0.5 0.0.0.0 area 0
 network 10.7.0.54 0.0.0.0 area 4
 network 10.9.5.5 0.0.0.0 area 0

Now try as I might, R5 does not pick up the default route.

My understanding is this. R7 should be advertising an N2 default route. R5
should pick this up, insert the N2 default route into its routing table and
then advertise the default route as an E2 route. It just doesn't work. It
works the other way around when I put the "area 7 nssa
default-information-originate" on R5 as the ABR - this is similar to the
example given in Doyle pg 544. But why cant a non ABR in a NSSA advertise
the default route.

I checked the ospf database on R5 and R7 for N2 0.0.0.0 but it isn't there.

I have seen notes in this group on ospf bugs in 12.0 ios and the need to
reboot sometimes. I have tried rebooting but it doesn't fix it. I am running
12.0(16) on R5 and 11.2(26) on R7.

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

Mark
