[rbak-nsp] bgp bestpath igp-metric ignore

Is it possible to configure BGP to ignore the IGP metric for bestpath
selection?  I have configured BGP with 'multi-paths internal 2' but BGP
is only using a single path as the IGP metrics to the 2 route reflectors
are different:

Local
  Nexthop 192.168.9.123 (11), peer 192.168.9.11 (192.168.9.123), AS 6510
  Origin IGP, localpref 10000, med 0, weight 100, internal, best
  Originator: 192.168.9.123, Cluster list: 192.168.9.11

In Cisco you can configure 'bgp bestpath igp-metric ignore', but I cant
see this or an equivalent on the SmartEdge? (SEOS v11).  Does this
option exist or an alternative that will achieve this?

Thanks.

Jim.
