iBGP and external router

Hi,

I have iBGP (AS 15) running between two routers, but they are not directly
connected, but connected through an external router:

NeighborA ------ ExternalRouter ------- NeighborB
  <------------------------------------------>
                  iBGP AS 15

[AS 2] ------ [AS 15]
        eBGP

Through eBGP AS 2 advertises a route (lets say 10.0.0.0) to AS 15
(NeighborA).
NeighborA advertises this route to NeighborB (no synchronization).

The problem:
When NeighborB tries to ping 10.0.0.1, it sends the packet to the nexthop,
ExternalRouter. But ExternalRouter does not have a route to network
10.0.0.0 and drops the packet (because it doesn't participate in BGP).
The question:
How do I fix this?

Regards,
Jano
