P.S. I just labbed it and had to add these to my equivalent of R8 to get
the updates to take... but it is now working. Configs below...

-Colin

Different AS numbers, but same scenario:

ROUTER 3
router bgp 6501
 no synchronization
 bgp confederation identifier 6500
 bgp confederation peers 6500
 neighbor ebgp-r8 peer-group
 neighbor ebgp-r8 remote-as 6500
 neighbor ebgp-r8 ebgp-multihop 2
 neighbor ebgp-r8 update-source Loopback99
 neighbor ebgp-r8 soft-reconfiguration inbound
 neighbor 172.16.99.3 peer-group ebgp-r8

R8

router bgp 6500
 no synchronization
 bgp confederation identifier 6500
 bgp confederation peers 6501
 network 142.167.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0
 network 142.167.2.0 mask 255.255.255.0
 neighbor ebgp-r3 peer-group
 neighbor ebgp-r3 remote-as 6501
 neighbor ebgp-r3 ebgp-multihop 2
 neighbor ebgp-r3 update-source Loopback99
 neighbor ebgp-r3 soft-reconfiguration inbound
 neighbor 172.16.99.1 peer-group ebgp-r3

You will have to still define the router as part of the confederation,
otherwise peers will reject updates as they will belong to their own AS.
So without changing the parent AS on R8, the following should get you up
and running:

R3
router bgp 65000
 bgp router-id 5.5.3.3
 bgp confederation identifier 100
- bgp confederation peers 61400
+ bgp confederation peers 61400 100
 neighbor 5.5.1.1 remote-as 61400
 neighbor 5.5.1.1 ebgp-multihop 3
 neighbor 5.5.1.1 update-source Loopback0
+ neighbor 5.5.8.8 remote-as 100
+ neighbor 5.5.8.8 ebgp-multihop 3
+ neighbor 5.5.8.8 update-source Loopback0

R8
router bgp 100
 bgp router-id 5.5.8.8
+ bgp confederation identifier 100
+ bgp confederation peers 61400 65000
+ neighbor 5.5.3.3 remote-as 6500
+ neighbor 5.5.3.3 ebgp-multihop 3
+ neighbor 5.5.3.3 update-source Loopback0
