From the OSPF protocol code, I suspected as much. ospf_rt_notify() just sends an \
external LSA.

I haven't completely familiarized myself with the OSPF code so I'm not comfortable \
modifying things yet, but would there be a safe way to call ospf_originate_rt_lsa() \
directly from ospf_rt_notify()? I can modify the code to detect the custom protocol \
as the source, I just don't want to force the OSPF protocol into a bad state.

Thank you for the reply,
Adam

No, such feature is not implemented, but is it an interesting idea.
