I've run into lab scenarios where an InterAS VPN needed to be established
w/o using the VPNv4 family between the eBGP neighbors. To get it to work
properly I configured send-labels on the eBGP neighbors and made sure that
each AS knew about the other AS's loopback addresses via BGP<->IGP
redistribution.  That way there is a label defined via LDP/IGP in each AS
for the other ASs loopack addresses. I used next-hop-self on the iBGP
neighbors but it still wouldn't build a complete LSP unless the other AS's
loopbacks were redistributed.
