To coin a phrase, what problem are you trying to solve? Do you see
this as a potential lab problem?
If you are concerned with the number of externals the NSSA injects,
remember that you can summarize them before they get into OSPF. Might
be a good way to reduce overhead. You _want_ some externals in an
NSSA area if you want to have the option of optimal routing when the
best exit might either be through area 0.0.0.0 or back out one or
more ASBRs in the NSSA.
If it's an operational matter, than what is the problem?
