Re: preferring OSPF inter-area compared to intra-area

I do have a link between R3 and SW1 as mentioned:

=========VL0==VL1=
22222222222111444444
R3 - SW1 - R6 - R1 - R3 again.

R3 / SW1 / R6 in Area2
R6 / R1 in Area 1 with a VL between them (R1 has an interface in Area0)
R1 / R3 in Area 4 with a VL between them (R1 and R4 have interfaces in
Area0)
R3 then in Area 2 with SW1 and R6

thanks
