It is a known problem. All statically assigned addresses or routes are
always proprogated as external type 2 routes. It too found this very
annoying. I had assuming they would act the same way as dynamically
assigned addresses (which automatically become intra-area if they fall in
the range).
I currently have a open case at Lucent about this. It took about 3
different staff before I talked to someone who even knew the difference
between intra-area and external 2 routes. I will forward your message on,
and perhaps they will contact you to gather intput as well.
