Recursive Routing

Hi All,

Have been trying to fix my recursive routing for OSPF in the last 2 hours.

R1 F0/0 .1 >> 155.1.37.0 >> .2 F0/0 R2 F0/1 .2 >> 155.1.0.0 >> .3 F0/0 R3

GRE tunnel created between R1 and R3

R1
interface Tunnel0
 ip address 155.1.57.1 255.255.255.0
 tunnel source 155.1.37.1
 tunnel destination 155.1.0.3

router ospf 1
 network 155.1.0.0 0.0.255.255 area 0
 distribute-list 2 in Tunnel0

access-list 2 deny 155.1.0.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 2 deny 155.1.37.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 2 permit any

R3
interface Tunnel0
 ip address 155.1.57.3 255.255.255.0
 tunnel source 155.1.0.3
 tunnel destination 155.1.37.1

router ospf 1
  network 155.1.0.0 0.0.255.255 area 0

 distribute-list 2 in Tunnel0

access-list 2 deny 155.1.0.0 0.0.0.255

access-list 2 deny 155.1.37.0 0.0.0.255

access-list 2 permit any

To prevent recursive routing, i have used a distribute-list to prevent
learning the tunnel destination from the tunnel interface. However, my int
tunnel keeps on flapping (Debug IP routing as attached), did i missed out
anything on my configs or did i use the wrong method? I used the same method
on RIP & EIGRP, distribute-list works fine on both of them, distribute-list
applying in/out to stop the tunnel destination from advertising/learning from
the tunnel interface.

Except on OSPF, i can only prevent the router from learning from the tunnel
destination, CANT stop advertising the tunnel destination out of the tunnel
interface, as the OSPF distribute-list only works for inbound.

Cheers
