I have three routers in area 0, two of which are connected to separate WAN circuits. I have one router that is sending the default route but when I try to add a second router with the configuration statement: default-information originate metric 1000
I do not see that populate anywhere via OSPF. There is a static default route in the second site I want to advertise from. I'm assuming this isn't supported but I thought I would ask in case I am missing something.
Output of OSPF database external:

You can see the default route the second site is sending (as noted by the metric).
