Did you consider area filter-list?

Hi Lim,

The goal is to filter the route so no router in the specific area you
want to filter it from will have it in its OSPF database. Distribute
list is only locally significant :-(

Oh and I forgot to mention stub/totally/NSSA are not allowed for this
solution :-)

I can't believe OSPF is so inflexible! This is quite easily
accomplished with any distance vector protocol!
