Hi Jason,
Just some comments on your semi related questions.
I think reachability via a non-default route is the requirement for BGP
neighbor IP address, and not a requirement for the next-hop IP of a BGP
prefix. In addition, you do not need that next hop reachability to get
the BGP prefix showing up in the BGP table.
As for BGP neighbor IP address, you only need non-default route for one
direction from one BGP neighbor to the other. The other BGP speaker can
use default route to point back to its neighbor.

Subject: Re: BGP Peering
one thing note worthy if i'm remembering correctly, the next hop address
has to be reachable by a route more specific than a 0.0.0.0/0 route
correct? so if your using a default route on R5 pointing to the address
on F0/0 of R3 (which is what your next hop should be if your not
changing it), the route wont be injected.
semi related question...
next hop unreachable will keep it from showing up in the BGP as well as
the routing table correct?
what if you do a show 'ip bgp nei x.x.x.x received-routes'... will it
show up in that list?
Thanks
Jason
