Hi, Bob

Yes, I've just noticed this on 12.1(5)T10.
Well, I've searched the cisco web site thoroughly for this, but it seems to me
that they didn't mention a thing about it.
Well, they may think that it's better to keep it undocumented :(.
Maybe I'm missing a related link, and if someone out there have a related link
for this, let me know.
But instead this subject has been heavily discussed on the list.

Now I'm getting really frustrated.
This is a very important feature, but we still didn't know exactly when it newl
y changed its well-known behavior like Doyle Vol. 1 explained it on p.548.
At least , they should have documented this like the changed behavior of redist
ributed connected networks.
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/104/redist-conn.html

Here's new behavior of area range command on 12.1(5)T10.

router ospf 1
 router-id 150.201.1.1
 log-adjacency-changes
 area 0 authentication message-digest
 area 0 range 150.201.0.0 255.255.240.0
 area 1 authentication message-digest
 area 1 range 150.201.0.0 255.255.128.0
 area 1 virtual-link 150.201.4.4 message-digest-key 1 md5 cisco
 network 150.201.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
 network 150.201.12.0 0.0.0.3 area 0
 network 150.201.14.0 0.0.0.255 area 1
