Again, don't worry too much about the more obscure commands at first, 
concentrate on understanding what happens, and then study one 
additional command at a time.  Before adding additional commands, 
have a clear idea:

          what is your routing policy?
          how do you want the added command to change the routing policy?

Halabi (1st ed -- I have 2nd ed on order) doesn't present things in 
this manner, I agree. But in many respects, his Parts 3 and 4 should 
be studied before Part 2.  Learn policy before configuration.

So what are you trying to do with the backdoor command? I say this, 
in part, because I've never found a real-world case where I needed 
it.   There are some examples in documentation, I will admit. 
Looking at the Halabi examples, I think it's cleaner to use a 
route-map to redistribute the IGP route into BGP, setting a 
local-preference to make it preferred.  Local preference is BGP 
standard, while backdoor is not.

Without further information, I would think that the potential route 
announced by BGP is being preferred, so the native OSPF route is 
being suppressed.
