BGP Confederation peering question

When do a confederation, and all the neighbor peering is done with loopbacks, if the sub-AS is different, should you use ebgp-multihop ? I know that it is not done for routers in the same AS, but was wondering if it was needed within the confederation also, for a sub-AS

for example..
r1
int loop0
ip add 10.2.2.2 255.255.255.255

router bgp 65234
bgp confed id 400
bgp confed peer 65321
nei 10.1.1.1 remote 65321
nei 10.1.1.1 update-source loop0
nei 10.1.1.1 ebgp-mutlihop 2

r2
int loop0
ip add 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.255

router bgp 65321
bgp confed id 400
bgp confed peer 65234
nei 10.2.2.2 remote 65234
nei 10.2.2.2 update-source loop0
nei 10.2.2.2 ebgp-multihop 2

Thanks!
