Hi all,

Like yourselves, I was waiting with great anticipation for this book to
become available and finally last week I picked it up. And, so far, I'm very
pleased.

However, I think I may have come across a significant error (or, at least, an
inconsistency). I don't have a practice lab yet so I can't test this, but
here's the possible error.

In chapter 3, in the discussion of Router Reflectors, Jeff says, (I'm
paraphrasing), "A route reflector client can't peer with any internal BGP
router outside of it's cluster" which makes alot of sense. But, then, a
little later, he goes on to say that a route reflector client can peer with
multiple route reflectors and the route reflectors do not have to be part of
the same cluster.

This implies that a route reflector client can belong to two different
clusters simultaneously. Is this possible? If so, is this useful? Sounds
to me that even if this is possible, it something that should be avoided.
What do you think?

Jim
