Hedi,
What you said is to be expected. That option basically cuts LSA7 about
external networks, so if you use it on that particular topology you
mentioned - the effect is no redistribution at all. You might as well not to
redistribute at all.

But when ASBR is also ABR, it generates both LSA7 and LSA5 updates about
redistributed networks. LSA7s are then converted back to another LSA5s
(normal ABR function in nssa area) so we have duplicates. To cut the
duplicates, no-redistribution option is provided.
