Can you post your ospf database for these routes?

Thanks

I have max-paths set on all routers involved. The routes should show as
equal cost everywhere as I set the metric to 10 and type to 2 when issuing
the default info command. As for the CEF suggestion posted earlier, I
believe you need to get the routes into the routing table before they will
be moved into CEF's fib database. Yes they both show up as type 5 in ospf
database. i will keep working on it until I get something definitive. I do
not nderstand why it isn't working.
