Brain,
1) Why? Don't know. But if you use a loopback address, you will also have an
address that never goes down for management (telnet) and static routes.
2) No, one side of the link must be in Area 0 making it an ABR. A stub area
eliminates LSA 5 (externals) and LSA 3 (Inter-Area) so router will not know of
other route making this said router in 1 area only.
