Bob,
I'll try to answer your first question below at the expense of possibly
clouding the issue:
*Question: Does this mean that each router within the area picks the
closest ABR as the gateway to everything outside the area,...
Well...Yes! OSPF first takes the "shortest path"

Totally stubby is a cisco nob that takes the concept of a stub area a step

In a stub area, only LSA types 1 (router) 2 (network) and 3 ( summary) flow within the
area. Hence, no routing information concerning prefixes outside of the OSPF domain is

A stub area may have more than one ABR. Stub areas are areas into which
information on external routes is not sent. Instead, there is a default
