John: The area address command is used to summarize the routes with
route mask. area-address 2 fffffffe should work for networks 20-2f.
You bring up a good point as to "future compataility". Did you check
this out using area-address 444 fffffff0 on both routers (or some other
network that isn't configured)? My guess is that it won't work. If you
haven't disabled RIP you are probably getting the routes via RIP
redistributed into NLSP over the WAN. For a complete check you should
disable RIP on all NLSP interfaces.
NLSP does automatically redistribute IPX RIP but not connected, or IPX
EIGRP. I suspect you have the networks enabled under rip (default) and
are redistributing the routes to nlsp (also default). If you want to
test this - disable rip and sap on the ipxwan serial link with ipx nlsp
rip off and ipx nlsp sap off.
Let me know if this isn't what you have.
Cheers, Fred.
