  Scott,
  I didn't experience any problems with getting the virtual link to
  come up without an interface in area 0. I verified this with R1 and
  R5 connected across Frame Relay. The Frame Relay link is area
  1. Also I tested this with IOS 12.2T, 12.3T, and 12.4T.

  Magic happens now. The funny thing is that if you REMOVE the area 0
  loopback from the process, the virtual link appear to remain up. But
  in
  order to get it started, some other interface MUST be in area 0 as I
  would
  expect.

  The concept of a virtual link is to extend area 0 out to over another
  area
  (transit) to a different ABR. In order to extend something, it must
  already
  exist logically.

  Even if I add the 111.111.111.111 back in as a new area, things still
  continue to work:

  R1(config-router)#network 111.111.111.111 0.0.0.0 area 111
  R1(config-router)#
  *Aug 21 23:21:32.501: OSPF: Interface Loopback1 going Up

  *Aug 21 23:20:17.709: RT: NET-RED 111.111.111.111/32
  R2#

  But nothing started without an area 0 interface in an up state.

  I'm running 12.3(11r)T1 on a 3825, and 12.4(3a) on a 2811. *shrug*

  The virtual-link is area 0. You don't need a physical interface to
  be
  assigned to area 0 for this to work.
