Hi Keith,
Probably best to check the archives on this one. There was a very long
discussion recently between Scott and Brian on why and how this works.
In short, I believe, Cisco breaks RFC to get this to work. Don't worry
about the reboot, apparently the devices are no longer rebooted before
marking. Only in the event of a reread would this become relevant.

Subject: IE Core 3 section 4.5 OSPF virtual link
I'm seeing something strange with the virtual link. I can get it to
work, I just cant explain why. The is no Area 0 defined in the
topology, and the lab requires you to build a virtual-link between R3
and R1. I build this out on using the loopback addresses, but it will
not work until I assign the loopback of R3 to area 0. After the virtual
link is establised, I can remove the loopback from Area 0, and
everything still works fine. Why? I'm uncomfortable with this solution
on a lab, since I don't think this configuration would work on a reboot.
Thanks,
Keith
