OSPFv2 actually allowed a workaround called a transit area, where ospf will
calculate the truly shortest path. You can turn this off with "no
capability transit" if you wish.

Subject: OSPFv2 inter-area transit - fundamental concept
Hi, and thanks:
Simple question: Is it a restriction of OSPF that all inter-area traffic
must flow through the backbone area? What if I have two non-backbone areas
next to each other, does the traffic need to go to the backbone and then to
the other area? I was always under the impression that this was not a
requirement of OSPF.
Thanks,
-LB
