We bought out another company and are connecting our networks. Unfortunately their numbering clashes with one of our own.
I am planning on setting up NAT on their router to NAT their addressing to something else but have a question regarding OSPF. I need OSPF to propagate the NATTED subnet and not their true subnet.
Is this possible?

Absolutely possible. From the router that does NAT, the subnet can be originated as external - "redistribute static subnets".

Bump..
Is this possible?
If not, any recommendations? We use OSPF to maintain floating static routes for DDR backups.
Renumbering one of the subnets is not an option at the moment.

That is exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you,

Okay, I guess I need more help.
How do I redistribute a static subnet or inject a subnet into OSPF to be propagated?
I've used the redistribute static command before, but I actually had a route in my routing table.
On the NAT router, this subnet solely exists in a NAT translation.
Thanks,

You can configure a static route to point to the null0 interface like this one;
ip route <172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0> null0
This would cause the route to be put into the routing table as a static route. Substitute the IP with your NAT IP.

Thank you so much. That worked like a charm.
