Hello Brant,
What is the issue that you are having? Why do you need to advertise the bgp
route to your pix firewalls? What are you trying to accomplish here by
sending bgp (external) routes to your pix firewalls to the internal network?
You can just point static routes on your pix to go to the outside. Please
post your config and respond offline if you would like to discuss further.
Sincerely,
John
