I forgot to mention that B's loopback is in area 0 !!

Actually it was a scenario where I needed to prefer an interarea route vs an
intraarea one.
Suppose you have 2 routers, A and B connected via frame-relay and isdn.
Dialer watch is configured. A will dial B if it loses B's loopback.
Now the frame-relay link is in area 1 and the isdn in area 0. When the
frame-relay goes down, dialer watch triggers a call and A learns B's
loopback. When the frame-relay comes back, A never installs the interarea
B's loopback address because it still prefers it through the isdn. A
consequence is that the isdn stays up indefinitely. I know it's a bad design
but it is only an exercise :)

I am trying to envision the circumstance where this would be plausible, or
desirable.. the destination network is either within the ospf domain or it
is an external route.. but how could it be both? But I suppose you could
manipulate the metric with an inbound distribute list calling a route map,
then in the route map filter on route source | interface | or route type,
and use the set metric command to apply the new metric.. or for that matter
filter the undesirable route completely using a similar method. Never tested
it, but it's worth a look.

router ospf 199
distribute-list route-map MYFILTER in
!
route-map MYFILTER permit 10
match route-type external
set metric 80

Here's a good link..
