A bgp question

Hello Guys:

Here is a question on bgp next-hop modification.

I have a topology like this:

BB3 ------------------ R3
                           |
                           |
                          R5
                           |
                           |
BB1------------------- R6

BB1 and BB3 are both in AS54.

R3, R5, and R6 are in AS 100.

AS 100 is learning some prefixes from AS54. I have initially set the local
preference inbound on R6 so that AS100 will prefer the R6-BB1 link to reach
those prefixes from AS54.

Thus R3 is now using BB1 as its next-hop for those prefixes.

My goal now is to override that behavior on R3, and force R3 to make BB3 the
next-hop for those prefixes, without using WEIGHT. I have tried using a
route-map inbound on R3 matching those prefixes and using the set ip
next-hop A.B.C.D or the set ip next-hop peer-address command . But this is
not working.

What am I missing?

Your thoughts and/or comments is appreciated

Josef.
