Jeff, I don't have a way of testing this right now. I'm still waiting for a few crossover cables. But interestingly, i'm just reading Doyle's vol.2 page 92 "When there are parallel paths to a particular destination, Cisco's implementation of EBGP by default selects only one path." So i must be misreading something here. I don't recall if this type of scenario was in one of the BGP labs for BSCN. I'll keep you posted of my own lab result. Thanks. Elmer
