OSPF into IGRP and summarizing into FLSM

Tom Larus said "Let's say you have loopback addresses on OSPF enabled
routers that you will need to summarize so that an IGRP /24 network
will be able to see them and reach them. You redistribute them into
OSPF, and use summary-address ip mask to summarize them right there on
the same router, which is by definition an ASBR because redistribution
is happening on it. Works like a charm."

In other words you are using IP SUMMARY under OSPF even though you want
to shoot the /24 into IGRP? Then, a /24 is created right there on that
router and puhed into the IGRP world? Is that correct?

I have been looking at this list for a definitive answer on this for a
while (not wanting to repost a question if it has allready been
answered) This seems like a solution. The quesion has been asked many
times and interpreted or missinterpreted differently in different posts
but essentially this is the problem as I see it: All of the protocoles
on the LABS we have all been doing have a mechanism for redistributing
and controlling summarization except IGRP. The LABS almost always give
you the ability to summarize almost all your networks via these other
mechanisms long before they reach the OSPF/IGRP redistribution point
with the exeption of a loopback or directly connected network on that
router which does not conform to the IGRP FLSM. It has been suggested
that a "ip default-network" be shot into IGRP and this works but it is
questionable as to weather this constitutes an ILLEGAL STATIC ROUTE.
The Solie labs pose this scenario but the soltions do not address it.

Are there any other tools that can be used?
