I feel what ever u r saying is right. Router A and B will has identical LSA for area 0 and any other area. May be area X. They will have different LSA Data base for area 1 and area 2.
RFC 2328: --------- A router has a separate link state database for every area to which it belongs. All routers belonging to the same area have identical link state databases for the area. I guess the Router A will have summary LSA for area 2 and visa versa with router B Pls comment.
