Re: OT: Passing Routing information across Firewall

Charles - One option would be to do eBGP multihop
through the firewall. Then you would put a static
route on each router pointing at the firewall to get
to the neighbor peer IP address. This would allow you
to get the routes dynamically, but allow traffic to
pass through the firewall without encapsulating it in
GRE or some other header.
