Hi Thomas,
Are you trying to summarize type3 LSA's "OSPF
routes" or type 5 "external routes" ? If its
type 3 LSA's they must be summarized on an ABR.
And if its type 5 they must be summarized on an
ASBR. Since you are redistributing connected you
can also make a static summary route with a higher
admin distance than OSPF uses like 205 for instance. Then use your area range o
r summary-address command. That should work fine :)

Why can we summarize area 0 addresses sometimes and not others. Is it
perhaps that we are sometimes trying to summarize an address that is
directly connected. There are some people who even have said that you
cannot use summarize area 0 addresses.
If you can't, then how in the world can you ever summarize the classic VLSM
area 0 frame-relay cloud?
Also, regarding the other night's discussion of the trick of redistributing
connected to get the loopback into OSPF and using summary-address to make it
a length that IGRP and RIP could handle, does have its downside in that, of
course, you might not want to redistribute all the other connecteds on the
router into your OSPF domain.
