Hi,

My understand of the answer is to break the /26 subnet into two /27 subnet
as secondary, since
it has cover by the primary, the secondary is just for redistribute to IGRP,
one of the draw back is the ip address 192.168.1.31 and 192.168.1.32
should not be used as it appear as
network and broadcast for the respective subnet.

This is one of the common ways (ther then summarizing) to get around the
VLSM/NonVLSM issues. But be aware that OSPF will not form adjacency on
secondary addresses. And you have to know the intricacies of what happens
to a routing protocol when secondary addresses are involved.
