I feel what ever u r saying is right. Router A and B will has identical LSA
for area 0 and any other area. May be area X.
They will have different LSA Data base for area 1 and area 2.

RFC 2328:
---------

 A router has a separate link state database for every area to which it
belongs.
 All routers belonging to the same area have identical link state databases
for the area.

I guess the Router A will have summary LSA for area 2 and visa versa with
router B

Pls comment.

R.
