Re: Inter-area vs Intra Area Routes

That is one thing about OSPF you can't really change. You might be able to
sort of fake it depending on your topology with something like a GRE
tunnel. For example, if you have inter-area routes, you may be able to
make them intra-area by creating a GRE tunnel and running OSPF on it.
