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

Thanks for your reply Brian..

I see your point about filtering the RIB and not what OSPF chooses. ( I
didn't realize this before actually)

What I was complaining is that route-map matching ip next-hop or matching
ip route-source is not working when applied with a distribute list inbound
to ospf.
Strange I don't find any official reference on this scenario.
