Well the metric was 1, so the only way you could have an IGP metric of 1
would be RIP with a hop count of 1 or ospf over fastethernet. It would be
hard to make eigrp have a metric of 1 :)
I don't know any links off hand that explain it, but remember you wouldn't
modify this metric in bgp config, it would be in your igp config that you
would alter it. the show command for bgp, I assume, just looks it up in the
route table and displays it for you for informational purposes.
also, if you use "next-hop-self" this metric would probably disappear
because your next hop would be directly connected...but that's just an
assumption right now.
btw, what is your ibgp load balancing scenario? maybe post your topology and
explanation and maybe i can help.
