You can have any IP from one router peer to any other IP of another router
as long as there is a route between the two.

You only require ebgp-multihop if the 2 peer routers IP addresses are not
directly connected using the same linke, ie: 2 physical endpoints. If so,
you count the number of layer-3 hops between the 2 endpoints and use that as
the parameter. And just to state the obvious, ebgp-mutihop is ony used when
you connect different AS's.... ie EBGP, not IBGP.

Quick question:

Do I have to have symmetrical configs on both sides? Can I have one loopback
on one AS try to peer with th serial on the other AS?

Also do I have to have "ebgp-multihop" whenever I use "update-source lo0"?

Thanks
