Wanted to start a thread on some gotchas to look out for when configuring
protocols/redistribution. PLEASE contribute. Ill go first.

1. BGP-->OSPF redistribution

What = Routes not advertised to ibgp peers.
Why? = Router ID's of ospf and bgp don't match.
Solution: Use BGP confederations which does not suffer from this issue.
Use another IGP instead of OSPF. Turn off BGP synchronization on each BGP
router within AS. Hardcode the OSPF and BGP router-id's to so
that they match.

2. You can not configure a virtual link across a stub area

3. If you set a p2p link as ip ospf point-to-multipoint then what you will see
is /32's being advertised for both your end points of the link breaking the
split horizon rule. I am not sure why the /32 sets sent.
