Yes, I don't know if I would call troubleshooting DDR 3 hours last night
"amusing" but thats definitly what was going on :)). One side of the link
had igrp with mutual distribution into OSPF. At first I was filtering
ospf being redistributed into IGRP, which was totally backwards. Once I
filtered out the host route from IGRP going back into OSPF, that stopped
the type 5 LSA from reaching the far side and starting this roller
coaster.
