[j-nsp] OSPF Sham link question

  Should have mentioned earlier (in case it's relevant), the reason
for sham-link requirement is that there 'will' be a slow backup link
between the cisco and the m10, but it'll be direct, so the cisco and
m10 will think that's the better link (due to intra-area).  So, was
hoping to use sham-link across T640s to bring things closer to 'par'
and have those routes appear as intra-area and ultimately prefer the
sham-link.
  I was, but am no longer, explicitly exporting routes from BGP into
OSPF on the PEs.  As requested, more configs and show cmd output
included.  I appreciate the feedback so far by the way....thanks
again.

m10's loopback is 172.16.0.3
cisco's loopback is 172.16.0.4

Pertinent configs from PE1 (T640 facing Cisco):
lo0 {
    unit 800 {
        description "sham-link testing";
        family inet {
            filter {
                input secure-router-shamlink-test;
            }
            address 172.16.0.2/32;
        }
    }
}

ge-7/0/0 {  <---- int facing Cisco
    unit 0 {
        family inet {
            address 172.16.2.1/30;
        }
    }
}

sham-link-test {
    instance-type vrf;
    interface ge-7/0/0.0;
    interface lo0.800;
    vrf-target target:25983:800;
    vrf-table-label;
    protocols {
        ospf {
            sham-link local 172.16.0.2;
            area 0.0.0.0 {
                sham-link-remote 172.16.0.1 metric 1;
                interface ge-7/0/0.0 {
                    metric 1;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}


Pertinent configs from PE2 (T640 facing M10):

lo0 {
    unit 800 {
        description "sham-link test";
        family inet {
            filter {
                input secure-router-shamlink-test;
            }
            address 172.16.0.1/32;
        }
    }
}

ge-7/2/1 {      <--------facing m10
    unit 0 {
        family inet {
            address 172.16.1.1/30;
        }
    }
}

sham-link-test {
    instance-type vrf;
    interface ge-7/2/1.0;
    interface lo0.800;
    vrf-target target:25983:800;
    vrf-table-label;
    protocols {
        ospf {
            sham-link local 172.16.0.1;
            area 0.0.0.0 {
                sham-link-remote 172.16.0.2 metric 1;
                interface ge-7/2/1.0 {
                    metric 1;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

OSPF neighbors as seen from PE1:
> show ospf neighbor instance sham-link-test
  Address         Interface             State      ID              Pri  Dead
172.16.2.2       ge-7/0/0.0             Full      172.16.0.4         1    36

OSPF neighbors as seen from PE2:
> show ospf neighbor instance sham-link-test
Address          Interface              State     ID               Pri  Dead

Proof that PE1 is learning PE2's loopback via BGP:
> show route table sham-link-test

sham-link-test.inet.0: 9 destinations, 9 routes (9 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both

OSPF database according to PE1 (Cisco isn't sending much/anything...my
current goal is for the Cisco to learn what the m10 sends, then I'll
move on):

(NB: is it normal that the routes PE2 is learning from the m10 are 'Extern' ?)

Here is Cisco's current routing table (learning nothing via OSPF):
lab-2651#sho ip route
Codes: C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
       D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
       N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
       E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
       i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
       ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
       o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route

Gateway of last resort is not set

C    172.17.0.0/16 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/1
     172.16.0.0/30 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C       172.16.2.0 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0
C    208.98.239.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/1
