[c-nsp] Cisco BGP Running on VRF?

[Murphy, William]

Thanks Gert.  I suspected that was the case.  I am probably displaying
my VRF/MP-BGP ignorance here, but is there any technical reason Cisco
could not allow you to run BGP in a VRF without doing VPNV4 similar to
how you can run an IGP in a VRF?

Well, if you don't want VPNV4, then don't configure a VPNV4 address
family - which you did by configuring "vrf internet".

Non-VPNV4-BGP is configured in "address-family ipv4 unicast", without
any "vrf" things tacked to it.
