OSPF NSSA Type-7 to Type-5 Translator Election (v5)

For this task, it states to "ensure that only R1 advertises this route (R6's redistributed loopback100) into area 0"

Would this config be a valid solution as well as what's show in the solution INE provides?

 

router ospf 1

 area 1 nssa translate type7 always

 

Brian shows in this the ATC videos, and it has the intended effect, but I just want to double check.

The alternative is to modify the router ID so that the preferred router has the higher RID.

The two ways to select the Type-7 to Type-5 LSAs are:

1. "area [area number] nssa translate type y always" 
2. Define a higher router ID for the router you want to do the Type-7 to Type-5 translation on. The ABR with the highest router ID will do the translation
