Coming out of lurk mode...
Reliability and redundancy. If all your route reflectors go down, your
entire network is down. This is assuming you're using BGP for internal
subnet distribution, and using OSPF only for the mesh of links between
routers (which is IMO the most reliable setup.) We had two dedicated
routers in different physical locations that did nothing but that.

I've been using my edge routers as route reflectors. Can someone fill
me in on what I would gain by using a dedicated box for that purpose?
It would be easy enough to change, but I'm not sure why I would.
Thanks,
Adam
