No, nor would you want to. Consider the situation where two routers peer
with each other via iBGP and both have "good" router IDs that beat all eBGP
peers. Then what if both routers receive identical routes to a destination
via eBGP - advertising that route to all iBGP peers. Both routers then
choose the iBGP route to the destination over the eBGP route and a routing
loop is formed.
