Sila,

     Take a look at my response to Tim...I used the summary-address
command and it aggregated the routes going to another ospf area 0
router.

You can't summarize external routes (I don't have a
rack to lab it out to confirm). Since R2 has only one
exit point, you can use LSA 3 filter to deny all
routes except for the default prefix. Example:

ip prefix-list LSA-FILTER deny x.x.x.x/24
ip prefix-list LSA-FILTER permit 0.0.0.0/0 le 32
!
router ospf 1
 area 1 filter-list prefix LSA-FILTER in
