OSPF virtual link should be used as temporary solution and should not be
part of any internetwork design. The reason for that is complexity of
troubleshooting virtual links. A permanent virtual link is a sign of poorly
designed internetwork.
No real impact in the router performance.

You will take the actual router ID which the OSPF process has taken up on
that router. If you have a loopback address defined on the remote router i
can bet that loopback address is taken up as the router ID by the ospf
process.

A virtual link allows an ABR to Hop accross a transit area to reach area 0.
Generally speaking, they are to be avoided. Virtual links are more
acceptable in a migration situation, or if Area 0 has been segmented (I.e.
as a temp fix).

Remember that the virtual link is part of area 0, so did you do area 0
authentication message-digest?
Also how did you specify the key..

This must be on both routers.

Chuck,
Let's see if I can make any sense in my reply to your comments.
When I think of a "virtual-link" as it relates to opsf, I think of it in
terms of being a tunnel. Also, short of being able to use a virtual-link, a
tunnel is what's recommended to maintain connectivity for any non-

Here is another one that made me pull my hair out:
Maybe you can help shed some light on this one for me:
