Oh, I agree that there are times when BGP is used in a single uplink scenario, but it is not common. However, someone pointed me to ip verify unicast source reachable-via any which seems to be available on some of the cisco Service provider releases. It's an interesting concept and I'm itching to play with it. If you aren't in my routing table, then why accept the IP address?

I want to see this is action, and how it may affect my routing... or maybe I can get a quick answer from the local CCIEs... Hey have you checked the Feature Navigator and seen which versions it is in? Catch me off-list.... Later, J
