I suppose you need to understand the difference between

area 14 nssa default-information-originate no-summary
area 14 nssa no-summary

Also

'To control summarization and filtering of type 7 LSAs into type 5 LSAs, use the following command in router configuration mode on the ABR: '

'Router(config-router)# summary address prefix mask [not advertise] [tag tag]
 Controls the summarization and filtering during the translation. '

What if you put in a summary address ?

I havent labed this but I'd imagine you need to play with these parameters.

If I recall correcty a default route is generated to replace the routes filtered by the stub, what if you summarise all the routes that are going to be filtered, is a default still needed, is it still generated ?

Some ideas !

If you are really desperate you could attempt to filter out lsa's but its unlikely this is the solution
