What I am thinking is, R2----R1----R3----R4 R1, R2, R3 are in one area, R4 another, on R1 neighbor R2 next-hop-self, on R3 neighbor R1 next-hop-self. When routes coming from R4, R3 will forward it to R1 with next hop as R3, but when R1 (the Router Reflector) forward the routes to R2, it won't change the next-hop address because it is IBGP, so when R2 receive the routes, the next-hop should be R3.
Please let me know I am wrong, the IBGP router will change the routes anyway once the next-hop-self is set.
