Another burning question on BGP

I'm trying to understand methods to keep synchronization on in BGP and
provide BGP to OSPF redistribution with route reflectors.

You know the problem where the route reflector server receives an update
from a route reflector client that is redistributing BGP to OSPF.

When the route reflector server gets the update, it reflects that update
to all other RR clients but changes the BGP ID to itself.

Obviously the other BGP RR clients get the BGP update but the OSPF
router ID and BGP ID do not match on the clients so the BGP route is not
marked
As a best path ">"

So the question I have is what methods are available to make this work
with synchronization on and using route reflectors?

Is the answer go to full mesh or transfer to confederations?

I'm stumped on how to change the BGP router-id to the originators BGP
router ID on the RR server.

Thanks for the input... or clearing up my confusion.

Andy
