You would have to use EBGP multihop... Were you not planning on doing that
with a Cisco solution? Or were you going to have 4 Cisco boxes? Not
sure what you mean by the exchange ASN appearing in routes for only the IP
ranges of the XPs... I might be missing something about what you are
talking about there...

RSd does not support iBGP at this time (but it will in the near future...)
We are working on putting this functionality back into the code.
We should prolly take this conversation offline... (anyone else care about
route servers?)
Talk to you soon.
