You aren't supposed to have discontiguous areas! The rule in OSPF is that
everyone within an area must have the same database. If you have some
separation of an area (any area, but particularly area 0) then bad things
happen as you are seeing!
How can you connect areas together in OSPF? There are two methods that may
work for you. But the rule is they have to touch unless you're going to
make them completely separate processes in which case you need to
redistribute!

Subject: OSPF discontinuous area 0 (IpExpert lab 5)
Hello all,
I'm doing ipexpert-s lab number 5. and they have discontinuous ospf area 0.
the topology is the following:
R2 FR hub.
R6, R4 FR spokes.
R2 F0/0 interface is in area 0, and FR interface that connects to R4 and R6
is in area 246.
R6 has area 0 too on other interface, let's say int Multilink 1.
when I have interface Multilink 1 in shutdown.
I do receive routes to other areas that are accessible through R2.
but when it's UP, the routes disappear.
------
here's some config:
------------------------------
R2:

As I know I should be ok with discontinuous area 0. but why does it not
work???
here's the routing table when Multilink 1 is in shutdown.
