turn synch off. make sure bgp next-hop is propagated (1->2a->2b/4->3). do not redistribute BGP=>IGP. At 03:26 PM 1/23/01 -0800, you wrote:

What is the preferred way to get transit customers routing information into your IGP so that BGP will announce the route to it's neighbors.

1===2a===2b====3 | 4

1 is the customer, announcing to 2a, who propogates 1's route to 2b and to 4. 2b will not announce the route to 3 as it doesn't have a route in it's routing table for 1's route. I was thinking about redistributing bgp into my igp using a route-map based on as-path filter, but that seems somewhat kludgy. What are you all doing to accomplish this or am I just missing something here?

Thanks,
