i'm not sure what to think now :( i have done the following.
set ospf enable
save all
reboot
add area 30
set ospf area 30 range 204.71.56.0/24
save all
reboot
(save all, reboot, ad nauseam :)
here is output of a few applicable commands
pm-ftc-b> sh tab ospf

208.146.243.20 32 208.146.243.20 local HL 1 ptp1
here, the 208.146.243.20/32 address is the one in question. it is not
getting advertised by the portmaster.
what are we missing?
