You could use policy routing and set the next hop from router a to router d to go through router c for the appropriate destination network.. I wouldn't use a tunnel.. lot of overhead for something trivial. You could also use a static route.. good old static routes.

Try This One [7:6076] routerA routerB AREA0--------AREA0 | | routerC routerD AREA1---------AREA1 Since we are on the topic of OSPF, could someone help me out on the scenario above? Routers A and B have interfaces in Area 0 and Area1. I want traffic from routerA destined for routerD to go via router B. This is not the case in my network because I realise that routerA prefers Intra-Area routes and thus would route traffic to routerD via routerC. What tweaks must I make in order to force the traffic from routerA to routerD to go via routerB ? Someone suggested building a GRE tunnel between routerA and routerB and then configure the tunnel to be in AREA1. Any suggestions? Kevin ""W.
