ospf path selection: Internal vs External

Hi guys,

I hope this isn't a completely dumb question, but...

If an ospf router has a choice between 2 paths to a subnet where 1 path is
via

an External route and the other path is via an ospf internal (inter-area or
intra-area)

route, is that taken into consideration in determining which path is
installed in the

route table?

If that is considered, does ospf automatically prefer one route over the other
or does the spf

calculation ignore that?

( For this to occur, I realize that an ospf route has to be redistributed out
of ospf and then back in,

but in the scenario I'm working on, that's just what I want to do and I want
ospf to choose the external route

over the internal route.)

Thanks in advance, Tim
