I haven't read the rest of the replies to this yet, but I think there is some confusion (probably on my part reading the post I replied to). The post I replied to talked about "putting into the [OSPF] routing table." If there is a static and a BGP route, the router should put both into the active router table, right? Now, what route the router chooses when actually routing packets is of course the most specific first, and then the one with the lowest administrative distance. That's what I said in my reply, that the router would put both static and BGP route in the routing table. I didn't make any statement on what route a router should choose when routing packets...
I guess I got thrown because the original post was talking about multiple OSPF processes and what route would get inserted into the routing table, and then the subject was changed mid-way to what route in the routing table a router should choose.
