Folks,
I'm experimenting with using Zebra running on a Debian box to do OSPF with the Ciscos on our network. The zebra box has 2 interfaces, each in a different area. This is the first time we have tried to impliment multiple areas on our network. Right now, area 51 consists only of the zebra box and a Cisco 2500, and is just for testing.
The zebra box is forming a full adjacency with the Cisco in area 51 with no problems. It will not, however, become fully adjacent with the DR and BDR in area 0. This seems to be preventing the distrobution of routes to the zebra box.
The adjacency problem is fixed. We were hoping to use the Debian package for Zebra, since the Debian package management is so nice, but the packages are often old. Eventually we built the newest Zebra from source and the adjacency problem just went away. Next question. Routes from area 0 are being learned in area 51, but static routes added in area 51 are not being learned in area 0. I am using all the redistribute commands I can find.
Distrobution of routes in area 51 works fine.
Here is my config, minus auth info.

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
