You can use conditional announcements to help routers disengage BGP if 
their interior links go belly-up.

Synchronization is often problematic in a service provider environment 
because you don't want your IGP (OSPF, EIGRP, etc) to be in the business 
of carrying (e|i)BGP routes if it can be avoided.
