RIB failure Question

Dear GS,

I have question regarding RIB failure

"If a route is appearing in BGP table as "r"' can that route be advertised
to any EBGP or iBGP peer?"

ok the scenario is that on R1 sync is enabled and i am learning
5.5.5.5route from an IBGP peer .I am also redistributing this route in
OSPF as sysn is enabled and i must learn the route from IGP too.The route
from ospf is installed in routing table b/c of the
better admin distance.The route from the IBGP peer is appearing as RIB
failure b/c a better route is there in routing table .
Now can this "r" route be advertised to an any BGP peer????

To get a clear pic,if some body has done IE advanced technolgy labs .In the
BGP section there is a scenario named "IBGP Syncronization".
In this lab the route 5.5.5.5 is appearing as "r" in BGP table but it is
still being advertised to an EBGP peer ?Am i missing something?
Can somebody clarify this.

Secondly in the sh ip bgp 5.5.5.5 out put below what is meant by "table
Default-IP-Routing" because when i tried to this lab the only thing
that was missing from my output was this.

R1#show ip bgp
BGP table version is 8, local router ID is 14.0.0.1
