AFAIK the OSPF process ID or domain ID are relevant only in the provider (MPLS VPN) domain (PE-PE), and even then only for the BGP-OSPF redistribution. They should not interfere with OSPF adjacencies on CE-PE links. Do you have any information on the state in which the neighbor setup gets stuck, or some debug traces of this process?
