Chuck,

I remember having noticed the similar things during my bgp self-training :
it seemed that eBGP learned paths are always preferred to iBGP learned
paths, and this had a precedence over local-preference.

I know that this is not as the documentation states, and would render the
local preference useless ... I will check my notes this evening and will
let you know.

What IOS version are you using ? I used 12.07T ... maybe a bug ?

Patrick.
