no-redistribution option is to prevent the ABR/ASBR from redistributing routes
into the NSSA (remember this is a stub area anyway ). the ABR will still conver
t those routes into LSA5 and send them inside the OSPF domain , but not inside
the NSSA itself .

if you dont use the no-summary option with the no-redistribution , then you may
 have to use default-route-originate to propagate a default route inside your N
SSA .( if no-summary is not used , this default will not propgate )

i hope this helps .
