You're right. It's a most unlikely occurance, but still a possiblity. I'll re-consider whether addressing it will indeed create more problems than it's worth. If you can forgive me for asking two other things:- You've mentioned previously on the list about nexthop mangling for iBGP (ie. the preference not to). Is it possible to run the aforemtioned setup without manually setting the nexthop to the peer's other /30 address? And on a semi related note, what happens when inbound traffic comes from our upstream and into core2, which has BACKUP state on the internal facing CARP group - presumably it needs to bounce off the exchangepoint network and through core1? I guess OSPF is the "proper" solution to both? Thanks,
