My question was more about going from one ISIS area to another (say, 49.0001 to 49.0002), but this information could help me out as well.  I recall doing the L2-L1 tunnels in the lab and was able to get it to work.  IIRC, I had to define explicit paths through the network from the L2-L1 router, correct?
