Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about Type 4 LSAs and how they're generated in this scenario. I'll need to review that part of the material.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. I'll focus on the settings that directly impact the location and proximity of resources, like the starting location and resource synchronization. That should point me in the right direction.
