[nsp] route-reflector setup questoins

[matthew zeier]

I have a network that's loosely like this:

RouterA (Transit)
  |
  | OC48
  |
RouterB ---- RouterC (Transit)
  \             /
[other ibgp routers]

B and C are fully meshed with each other and all the other ibgp speakers.
All are on the same network.  My intention is to have B and C as route
reflectors.

A is only connected to B.  I'd like to keep things simple and have A just
peer with B.  I had configs similiar to below.  However, I noticed that ebgp
routes learned on A were passed to B but B did not pass to C.  Do A and C
also need to peer and does A need to be a RR client as well?

My configs -

RouterB:
router bgp 65444
 bgp cluster-id 65444
 nei RouterA route-reflector-client
 nei RouterC ...
 <other ibgp peers>

RouterC:
router bgp 65444
 bgp cluster-id 65444
 nei RouterB ...
 <other ibgp peers>

RouterA:
router bgp 65444
 nei RouterB ...
