I'm wondering a bit about VPN and NAT (I think this might depend very
much on platform, but at least the software platforms should know the
output interface).  

BGP shows up on our 7200s as "Local" (addresses changed):

Cisco-7200>sh ip cache flow | inc 00B3
Gi0/3.123     100.100.10.219  Local         100.100.10.200  06 8355 00B3    65 
Gi0/1.11      100.100.10.46   Local         100.100.10.200  06 00B3 8BA5     2 
Gi0/3.123     101.10.101.79   Local         101.10.101.65   06 E514 00B3     1 
Gi0/1.11      100.100.10.209  Local         100.100.10.200  06 E473 00B3     1 
Gi0/3.123     100.100.10.213  Local         100.100.10.200  06 EAD7 00B3    52 
Gi0/3.123     101.10.101.80   Local         101.10.101.65   06 37D3 00B3     1 

EIGRP is "Null", though:

Cisco-7200>sh ip cache flow | inc 224.0
Gi0/1.11      100.100.10.111  Null          224.0.0.10      58 0000 0000    47 
Gi0/1.11      100.100.10.118  Null          224.0.0.10      58 0000 0000    51 
Gi0/1.11      100.100.10.117  Null          224.0.0.10      58 0000 0000    56 
Gi0/1.11      100.100.10.114  Null          224.0.0.10      58 0000 0000    65
