BGP indecision !?!?

Hi group,

Suppose the following scenario: Ra and Rb are in the same BGP AS 1. Both
are connected to another AS 2. AS 2 sends routes to AS1. And we are asked to
configure in such a way that Ra will prefer to exit to AS2 via Rb instead of
directly.
One way is to increase the local preference on Rb. But what happens if the
next hop of those routes has a lower igp metric through AS 2 ?
Should the metrics be manipulated so that Ra traffic is actually sent
through Rb ?

Thank you

--Richard
