Sounds like a special case of a route-server to me. You need a bgp session to the hardware based router where you forward the routes to. If you use iBGP between the two servers the bgp attributes should not be altered and you may end up with a working solution. It is a hack and needs most peers to use multihop bgp to get to your bgpd box. -- :wq Claudio
