Brian,
Forward metric with OSPF external route is "internal" cost to reach ASBR.
Type "show ip ospf border" to get a list of your ABR/ASBRs and their
associated "costs".
Remember, OSPF behaves like distance-vector protocol with respect to
External and Inter-Area prefixes.
--Also, jumping to the other topic, there is a concept of "external" metric with EIGRP. This is the mertic that prefix had in "native" protocol, from which it has been redistributed into EIGRP :)
I don't know why, I just have this two concepts related in my head.. :))
