Yup, it's right. Says so in the RFC.
I think RFC1403 was the first to lay this out...
"GP Identifier and OSPF router ID
The BGP identifier MUST be the same as the OSPF router id at all
times that the router is up.
This characteristic is required for two reasons.
i Synchronisation between OSPF and BGP
Consider the scenario in which 3 ASBRs, RT1, RT2, and RT3,
belong to the same autonomous system.
+-----+
| RT3 |
+-----+
|
Autonomous System running OSPF
/ \
+-----+ +-----+
| RT1 | | RT2 |
+-----+ +-----+
Both RT1 and RT2 have routes to an external network X and
import it into the OSPF routing domain. RT3 is advertising
the route to network X to other external BGP speakers. RT3
must use the OSPF router ID to determine whether it is using
RT1 or RT2 to forward packets to network X and hence build the
correct AS_PATH to advertise to other external speakers.
More precisely, RT3 must determine which ASBR it is using to
reach network X by matching the OSPF router ID for its route
to network X with the BGP Identifier of one of the ASBRs, and
use the corresponding route for further advertisement to
external BGP peers.
ii It will be convenient for the network administrator looking at
an ASBR to correlate different BGP and OSPF routes based on
the identifier."

Subject: BGP Synchronization
Hi GS!
Just want to make sure about BGP synchronization work. we have 2 rules
The first:
IBGP learned prefix must have corresponding prefix listed in local
forwarding table if that IBGP prefix is to be advertised to another BGP
speaker.
The second:
The RID of OSPF(ASBR) and RID of advertising IBGP speaker must match when
OSPF is underlying IGP.
The first rule I know how it work!
But the second rule, is it right?
If so, in this case, we have to change RID of IBGP speaker to match with RID
of OSPF router?
Thanks!
