Exactly, it's not REQUEST, you COULD NOT redistribute BGP into another protocols withouth some danger to do bad thing. And it's not easy to imagine why do you want such redistribution at all. On Fri, 17 Jul 1998, Paul Ferguson wrote:

My recommendation is not to redistribute BGP into any IGP at all. I personally consider that to be a very dangerous thing to do.

All,

Does anyone have any information on redistributing BGP traffic into OSPF versus ISIS? What about just carrying IBGP sessions? My OSPF database is growing, and I'd rather not carry LSAs with BGP routes as well as private routes, etc. Too messy. By introducing ISIS and using it only as a BGP IGP, what can I expect? Experiences with Cisco gear preffered.
