(PM) ospf NSSA's

I recently converted some remote pop OSPF areas on the ethernets to NSSA
(not-so-stubby areas). Before all routers were in area0 containing all
routes from the entire network.

The portmasters were announcing the /32 static dialup routes, and the /27
dialup dynamic pools just fine. Now with the nssa areas, the portmasters
announce the /32 static dialup routes fine, but the the /27 pool
summaries are not getting propagated past the ABR at the pop. I
investigated and found that that its because the /27 summary route is
being presented to the cisco ABR as a type-5 external link. The /32
statics are being accepted because they are being presented to the ABR as
type-7. Since the area is nssa the cisco is squashing the type-5 routes.

Is there a way/setting to make the portmaster announce the /27 pool
summary addresses as a type-7 so they can be propgated past the ABR?

Thanks for any input ;)
