Why would there be?  Not unless R3-R6 are in a different area, in which case
they would need to create a Virtual Link to R1.

Subject: Distribution Router and OSPF [7:73933]

R1 is a ABR router; it connects to the backbone area and to area 50.
R2 is a distribution router connected to router R1 through area 50.

R2 connects to 4 other routers in area 50.

I am wondering if there are concerns about R2 being a distribution router
without connecting to area 0.

area 0 (R1)--area 50 ---(R2)--area 50(R3,R4,R5,R6)

One concern would be that area 50 will be separated from the rest of the
network if any one of R1, R2, or the link between R1-R2 fails. This is not
related to R2 being or not being connected to area 0 though.

Thanks,
