Darren,
I cant tell without diagrams and configs, but I suspect its a case of BGP
only advertises the best path.
Consider the following example
r3----------------r4 AS2
| |
++++++++++++++++++++++
| |
| |
r1-----------------r2 AS1
If R2 has the better local preference to AS2, it will tell R1 about it. R1
will then decide that R2 is the best route to AS2. Any route that R1 had
advertised to R2 as a route to AS2 will be then withdrawn. If you use 'debug
ip bgp updates' you can actually see this WITHDRAWN message being sent.
After that R2 will only have a single route to AS2 in the BGP table. R1
however will probably have 2 routes in its BGP table - the best one via R2
and the other via R3.
Hope this helps
Mark
