[c-nsp] How not to redistribute statics into VRFs/BGP

Right, got you so far

You mean 10.120.112.2? 

>ip route vrf Chmbr-General 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.120.112.2 ! This is a

So both 10.120.24.2 and 10.120.112.2 are at the remote site?
any chance you can knock up a small ascii diagram else it gets a bit confusing.

US? 

How are you tracerouting? using "traceroute vrf Chmbr-General x.x.x.x" command?

Also worth noting that since you are doing what is called "recursive" routing here
(i.e point default at something which is also pointed at an interface) your traffic
will always go via Serial0/1/0.310 and onto your MPLS provider , anything past this
you have no direct influence over (usually) and hence you will need to have them change the
way the default is advertised into their VRF as well.

Does this make sense?
