This is because you have a broken backbone (area 0.0.0.0, see above in
show ospf state, it contains just 10.110.1.118 ). Area boundary
routers have to be connected by backbone. You have to setup some vlinks
or merge some areas to the backbone.

And, as i wrote before in this mailing list, some OSPF area hints:

1. rule of OSPF areas: Don't use it unless you know exactly what are you doing.

2. rule of OSPF areas: If you still want to use it, stick to stub and
   NSSA areas and avoid transit areas and vlinks. Just change transit
   areas to the backbone.
