Thanks for the pointers, from those commands you mentioned I was able to
find the following URLs which has some good discussions of them:

   http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/104/3.html
   http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ics/cs001.htm
   http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/104/9.html

It does indeed look like passive-interface is what I'm looking for.  Too
bad it's not available.  I think setting up as a stub will get rid of the
extra announcements, I'll have to do some testing of that.

I'm kind of more worried about having a neighbor show up for every
subnet I define.  While setting up a passive-interface default would be
ideal, I can work with manually specifying the passive interface.  In fact,
I could even directly connect the two routers on a different interface just
for the OSPF and packet exchange, and make the internal interface (which
has all the subnets) passive.

I don't really have any leaf areas.  OSPF is only used between my pair of
Zebra routers and the facility network.

Thanks,
