No, if the BGP next hop address is even several hops away but the igp has a
route to that next hop address it will get put in the routing table. It
looks and sound kind of weird but it works. I've done it in customer
networks.

Hi group

Should i put the neighbor x.x.x.x next-hop-self always on ibgp peers
even when the next hop of the ebgp peer in the other AS is reachable via
an igp route ?

any comments are welcome

cheers
Louis
