rest...inline...

okie no multihop, i agreee........that doesnt matter to me right..no IGP
either...

...hmm so full mesh is a nice problem isnt it :o).......i wont next-hop
self, ill next-hop adjacent neighbour..but i still need a full mesh

just.. :o) ....wondering wht "iBGP not bouncing to another iBGP" ever gives
me actually....was it made with the intention of allowing "smaller routing
tables"......or it has a reason...u still have a "source" field in BGP to
recognise the source of the update dont u? so that "RIP equivalent" of
"split horizon" cud be knocked off with that....

there was more than that i missed... i had the same IP appearing on one side
of the x router and the same was on its other interface....
that was the bad bit.......sorry abt that.
i realised that immediately after i sent the mail and the "pot" wore
off....that ..its A-x-w-y-z-B ;o)
now can i have the same addresses on the interfaces between x-w and y-z
...yup not with all those issues u mentioned.....
:o)
actually here its linux-1 , linux 2, linux 3 , linux 4 linux 5 linux 6
...that i use... and i just relaised i dropped one linux when i sent that
mail....
anything else that fails?
