Robert,

  Could you tell us why you don't like this method of peering?  Aside from
having to turn off next-hop-self and injecting a /32 into your neighbor's AS
for each PE you wish to support, I don't see the security problem right off
hand.  You could still run MD5 authentication across the MP-eBGP session.
Could you enlighten me?

Thanks,
Chris M.

in my experience I opt for the ASBR --.  ASBR connection.  Doing the RR
connection opens up too much of a security headache for me.
