Peter,

Just out of my own curiosity, would a potential solution be to make R3 a RR
also (with clusters) ? Wouldn't that force the NH to be R3 on R1 ? I'm
still learning BGP and am likely to be for a long time at this rate, so my
apologizes if this seems ridiculous :)

Seems to me that a confed might be another solution ? (to force confed EBGP
between R1 and R2 which would fix the NH problem)

I'm sure I'm way out in left field on this one,

Gregg
