Trouble inserting static route into OSPF ASBR

Networking community,

I was hoping someone might be able to provide me with some assistance in configuring one of my routers. Diagram below:

enter image description here

Current configuration: The PfSense firewall is configured to hand out addresses to the two networks above. The servers and the cluster of routers (There is a static address between the Router R1 and the firewall). The cluster of routers are all running OSPF. All of the routers communicate flawlessly. All of the routers from R2 beyond are in Area 0, and on R1, port 0/1 is in area 0 as well.

Note: I initially had OSPFquagga installed on the firewall, but have since removed that, as I do not want OSPF running on the firewall.

Problem: I am having trouble configuring R1 to take a static route and dynamically propagate that route through the OSPF network. Which would permit the cluster of routers to reach the WAN. I have set up R1 as an ASBR.

I initially had the ip route set to 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 interface...next hop, but read that those types of default routes are not propagated by OSPF/IS-IS)
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/routing-information-protocol-rip/16448-default.html

I have referenced:

here

Configurations are as follows:

R1

    interface GigabitEthernet0/0
 ip address 192.168.30.150 255.255.255.0
 ip virtual-reassembly in
 duplex auto
 speed auto
 no cdp enable
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
 ip address 192.168.100.1 255.255.255.0
 ip ospf 10 area 0
 duplex auto
 speed auto
!         
router ospf 10
 redistribute static subnets
 network 192.168.100.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
 default-information originate always
!
ip forward-protocol nd
!
ip http server
no ip http secure-server
!
ip route 192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0 GigabitEthernet0/0 192.168.30.1

I feel like I am close, but would appreciate any suggestions. If it would be of any use, I can upload PCAP's, OSPF neighbor lists, IP routers, etc...

Appreciation in advance.
