Mani,
As long as the tunnel sources and destinations are reachable by
both endpoints of the tunnel, the ip address used on the tunnel itself
is arbitrary, as long as it participates in area 0. Also, you don't
necessarily even have to give the tunnel it's own address. You could
unnumber it to another interface that is already participating in OSPF
area 0.
