Jim,
You you are configuring BGP and OSPF on the same router, you are better off
using the same router id. It is the way to go according to RFC 1745. Karl
Solie CCIE practical volume also mentioned it.
RFC 1745 States...."The BGP/IDRP identifier must be the same as the OSPF
router ID at all times that the router is up."
If the OSPF and BGP router IDs do not match, BGP cannot synchronize with
OSPF, causing BGP not to advertise any unsynchronized routes to any peer.
