Just a thought, but how about when.... redistributing the routes to the other protocol using a route-map at the end and tagging the routes that came from ospf. Add another route-map statement that any route that has been tagged deny it.
Example: router ospf 100 redistribute rip metric 130 subnets route-map RIP2OSPF route-map RIP2OSPF permit 10 set tag 66 route-map RIP2OSPF permit 20 router rip redistribute ospf 100 metric 3 route-map OSPF2RIP route-map OSPF2RIP deny 10 match tag 66 route-map OSPF2RIP permit 20 I just went through the ACP class and this was their solution to a similiar situation.
