Yes, you can make R1 as a route-reflector for sw1. And in fact, if my memory
still serve, and please someone point out if I am wrong..

If you don't set R1 as route-reflector for sw1 (which I assume sw is alot
inside the same AS), sw1 won't receive the route from R1.

It's because if you only set R1 as a route-reflector-client of R5, all R5
route will only advertise 1 more hope further into the local AS if that
receiver is a same AS RR-client. But I can't 100% confirm this..

Another solution will be make R1 become a normal iBGP peer to R5.
