Ah! I get it now. Therefore, the key is with tunnels in OSPF is that
both ends must be in the same area (or, of the interfaces that they
represent ....loopback0, in this case).... Even if you are using
unnumbered. Thanks for the great explanation, Brian!

Dave,
        One thing to remember about using unnumbered interfaces is that
interfaces on both sides of the link must be in the same area. See
below:

hostname Rack8R1
!
interface Loopback0
 ip address 150.8.1.1 255.255.255.0
!
interface Tunnel0
 ip unnumbered Loopback0
 tunnel source 129.8.124.1
 tunnel destination 129.8.124.2
!
interface Serial0/0
 ip address 129.8.124.1 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 frame-relay map ip 129.8.124.2 102 broadcast
 no frame-relay inverse-arp
!
router ospf 1
 network 150.8.0.0 0.0.255.255 area 0
!
end

Rack8R1#sho ip os n

Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address
Interface
150.8.2.2 0 FULL/ - 00:00:33 150.8.2.2
Tunnel0
Rack8R1#

hostname Rack8R2
!
interface Loopback0
 ip address 150.8.2.2 255.255.255.0
!
interface Tunnel0
 ip unnumbered Loopback0
 tunnel source 129.8.124.2
 tunnel destination 129.8.124.1
!
interface Serial0/0
 ip address 129.8.124.2 255.255.255.0
 encapsulation frame-relay
 frame-relay map ip 129.8.124.1 201 broadcast
 no frame-relay inverse-arp
!
router ospf 1
 network 150.8.0.0 0.0.255.255 area 0
!
end

Rack8R2#sho ip os n

Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address
Interface
150.8.1.1 0 FULL/ - 00:00:32 150.8.1.1
Tunnel0
Rack8R2#

Now if we change the area on R2's loopback to area 1 from area 0 they
won't be able to become neighbors since the interfaces they are using
for unnumbered (Lo0) are not in the same area:

Rack8R2#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Rack8R2(config)#router ospf 1
Rack8R2(config-router)#no network 150.8.0.0 0.0.255.255 area 0
%OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Process 1, Nbr 150.8.1.1 on Tunnel0 from FULL to DOWN,
Neighbor Down: Interface down or detached
Rack8R2(config-router)# network 150.8.0.0 0.0.255.255 area 1
Rack8R2(config-router)#^Z
Rack8R2#
%OSPF-4-ERRRCV: Received invalid packet: mismatch area ID, from backbone
area must be virtual-link but not found from 150.8.1.1, Tunnel0
Rack8R2#
%OSPF-4-ERRRCV: Received invalid packet: mismatch area ID, from backbone
area must be virtual-link but not found from 150.8.1.1, Tunnel0
Rack8R2#

Ah! That first statement explains the way the router is thinking in
this case! Thanks, Chris.

OSPF performs subnet number and mask checks on all media except point to
point and virtual lilnks (RFC2328 section 10.5).

If one was crazy enough to change the interface to a broadcast network
type, the neighbor relationship would not be able to form.

        Well, according to the IE solution you can. (150.1.3.3/24 and
        150.1.4.4/24 on the endpoints of the tunnel) I haven't labbed it
yet,
        I'll quickly change my tunnels to match their solution and see
how it
        works.

        This brings up a question....Since the tunnel is specifically
being used
        to extend area 0, and the tunnel must have both ends in the same
subnet.
        Doesn't this tunnel have to be an assigned ip address that is on
the
        same subnet (both ends of the tunnel)? And, this subnet would
then have
        to be assigned to area 0. Can this even be done with ip
unnumbered?

        Be sure to read the wording of the lab carefully. They may (or
may not)
        allow you to create additional IP addressing within a certain
scope, as
        needed.

        Using ip unnumbered to a loopback isn't all that great of an
idea, as
        your
        loopbacks will generally be in different subnets.

        Using another subnet address is extra commands and is not a good
idea.
        That's my opinion.
