Main "gotchya" on the BGP-ID is to make sure that if you are running
sync on and the route is learned from a different router-id in the IGP
that you have a matching router-id in your bgp advertisements,
otherwise, the learning router will not advertise this route as the
router-id does not match up right.

Jonathan it will be valid only if

a) either the address is a loopback interface or
b) a physical interface address.

The interface does NOT need to be running BGP.

Take a look at Jeff Doyle's Routing TCP/IP Vll, page 154.
