I think there are some ways to fix this problem. It
has been mentioned several time on past discussion.

First solution: introducing second ospf domain: here
are the steps:
1. add second ospf routing domain. eq ospf 2
2. redistribute first ospf routing domain ie ospf 1
to second ospf routing domain.
3. apply summary address
4. redistribute ospf 2 into igrp domain.

Second solution: adding an extra area and make ABR. (
in your case R3
1. clear a loopback interface and add network ____
area x on the ospf routing process.
2. R3 now becomes ABR/ASBR. Apply area 0 range ____

etc..
