My understanding of this network is that R3 and R4 are two ABRs.

>right but according to his HTML color coded email he unicasted to me and
BRIAN (I get html email's so I could see the color)

The ONLY area 0 link is the link between R3/R4. I have this happen to my
CCNP students all the time... and the slick ones catch on to what I'm doing
all the time... showing as usual that you can just go from area 1 to area 2
at an abr with 3 interfaces one in area 0, area 1, and area 3.

That traffic will take the area 0 path to hop over the space time continuum
back to the alternate 1985 and get to the area beyond the backbone...

My understanding of this network is that R3 and R4 are two ABRs. Then
it's normal behaviour that the traffic would take the R6-R4-R2-R1
path. Once arrived at R4, the traffic reached area 1, then takes the
shortest path through the area to R1. If you want to force traffic
from R4 to R3, then add an adjacency on the R3-R3 link in area 1.
