Thanks for your help, greatly appreciated. 

Hmm in this case, I think the second CPE router will have to prefer the
ebgp path to avoid a loop (instead of iBGP) ?  The packet which is leaving
CE1 to CE2, destination the MPLS cloud  will have to leave CE2 across the
eBGP. If CE2 prefers the iBGP, there might be a loop CE1 ---> CE2 ---> CE1
--> CE2 (if we use a load sharing per packet)...

WHat do you think ?

Thanks

Nick
