One question on "soft reconfig". I'm one of the people that have problems
with their 7206 and 128 Mb RAM - on both "full" BGP peers (one internal,
one external) "soft reconfig" has been switched off, but didn't bring
any memory benefits (!).
I have a number of "small" peers, that *do* use "soft reconfig".
Is it possible that once you switch on "soft reconfig" for any peer
it will eat up memory for *all* BGP entries? (This is just wild
speculation, but this is the only way I could explain why turning off
the "soft in" on the full eBGP peer didn't change anything).
