Hi all,
I have the following scenario (excuse my lousy ascii art...)


                                           ISP1
                                         /
                                       /
                                     /
RTR1 -----iBGP----- RTR2
                                    \
                                      \
                                        \
                                         ISP2

For the simplicity of the case, I have two prefixes, 1.1.1.1/24 and 2.2.2.2/24,
I want to advertise prefix 1.1.1.1/24 to ISP1 as best, and 2.2.2.2/24 to ISP1 
with prepends, and the opposite too, prefix 2.2.2.2/24 to ISP2 as best and 
prefix 1.1.1.1/24 to ISP1 with prepends.

What I'm trying to do is to set up all in a way that the only place I set up my 
decision is on RTR1 only, and that will be reflected via the iBGP to RTR2 about 
how I want the prefixes to be advertised to my eBGP neighbors ISP1 and ISP2
I tried setting communities, but all I got is RTR2 to see and match the 
communities, but based on this, I couldn't get the prefixes advertised to the 
ISPs at all.

What kind of manipulation I need to do in order for the RTR2 after matching the 
communities coming from RTR1, to advertise it to the ISPs according to the 
priorities I've mentioned before?

This sounds very basic and not so complicated to do, but I guess I'm missing 
something here!

Please help, and if possible, don't send me links to cisco web site case 
studies or to some 300 pages PDF about how BGP and communities work. A simple 
straight forward example of how this can be set will be enough.
Thanks!
Ziv
