RE: BGP through pix

I hear ya.
I tested in my lab also and the additional static routes work like a
charm.

By the way, I found that there is another way to accomplish successful
eBGP peering without any static routes on the routers and pix. I add
loop0 and secondary ip on the routers and permitting icmp from outside
coming inside on the pix for testing.

You are the man !
  that actually was the problem .. i just had a default route (not
specific route ) to reach the ebgp multihop network
   
  once i put the specific route to the multihop neighbor ...it worked
peacefully
   
   
  NOW ...why on earth Cisco is doing that ? a default route is not
enough .??
   
  really sux

  From 12.2 and 12.3 configuration guide:
Router(config-router)# neighbor {ip-address | peer-group-name}
ebgp-multihop
Allows BGP sessions, even when the neighbor is not on a directly
connected segment. The multihop session is not established if the only
route to the address of the multihop peer is the default route (
0.0.0.0).

on 12.4 I couldn't find such restriction.

  I have a confusion here

  R1-----------pix>>--------R2

  if i configure R1 to peer with R2 and R2 to peer with R1 using the
update-source loopback and the ebgp-multihop options ...do i still need
to allow BGP on the External ACL of the PIX ?? ...why not R1 to peer
with R2 ( not the other way around ) without enabling anything on the
PIX .

  my configuration works only when i allow the bgp to pass through the
PIX via ACL from outside to inside .

  is there a way to force the peering direction ?

  thx
