BGP Routing

Hi all,

I am trying to set up a network running BGP. I have a core router that are
running IBGP with other routers connected to it.

This is how it looks

R1------core------R2
          | |
       | |
      | |
        R3 R4

IBGP :

Core to R1
Core to R2
Core to R3
Core to R4

The EBGP link is going out from the core to yet another router.

Now I want to also run IBGP between R1 to R3 and between R2 to R4

There are clients behind all routers. For R1 and R3 clients I want to
prefere the link from R1 to core with R3 to core being backup for both.
Also same for R2 and R4. R2 should be the preferred link for these clients
And the R4 to core should be the backup.

I would appreachiate some help finding the best setup for this net. Do I
need to do rout-reflector clients on the client routers?. And how do I
achive the backup scenario best.

I do have some idea on how I need to do this, but I would like to get some
Pointers from others also..

Thanks

JP
