Am I correct in understanding the redistribution is in area 1?

If so, this link may help: https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/thread/102826

The idea is to turn area 1 into an NSSA area, so the static would be a
type 7, and you could then drop the type 5 LSAs on the ABR.

The idea is cool, but I am not sure whether I would really want this
in production.

BGP instead of areas anyone?
