RE: OSPF Virtual Link Flapping

Your dead timer is lower than the hello timer on the 189.18.110.0
network.

Do a "show ip ospf interface" and you'll see that the hello timer for
the point-to-multipoint interfaces is 30 seconds and you've set the dead
timer to 25 seconds. Unlike when setting the hello timer, when the dead
timer is manually set the hello timer is not automatically adjusted. If
you manually set the hello timer the dead timer, assuming it hasn't been
manually set, will automatically follow (4 times hello).

As a side note you have some extra routing protocol related commands
that aren't needed in your configuration.
