Route leaking between VRFs

[Brian Green]

Hi,

I did checking, and nothing I've seen shows my situation so I thought I would ask.

I have two routers (R1 and R2) contacting a third (R3) using DMVPN.  They have one VRF for non-DMVPN communications to R3, and another for traffic that goes over the DMVPN tunnel.  What I would like to do - it is possible (although not always the case) that R1 and R2 will be close enough for some form of direct connection between them.  That connection would be over a new VRF (i.e. LOCAL).  The end goal is to allow communcations originated from behind R1 that are destined for computers behind R2 to go directly between R1 and R2 - without going to R3 first.  Right now I can only get from R1 to R2 via R3.  I do have a link between R1 and R2 to test with.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this?  I know I have to do some route-leaking - not entriely sure how to do this.  I do have BGP running on all three machines.

Thanks,

Brian

And just to throw another wrinkle in this - behind R1, R2 & R3 there are 3 more routers R4, R5 and R6.  There are DMVPNs running from R4 and R5 to R6 - in the tunnel configuration R4 and R5 have the IP of R6 as the NHRP NHS.  So traffic from a machine behind R4 destinned for a machine behind R5 goes to R4, into Tunnel "A", to R1, into Tunnel "B", to R3 and out of Tunnel "B", to R6 and out of Tunnel "A", then back into Tunnel "A", to R3 and back into Tunnel "B", to R2 and out of Tunnel "B", and to R5 to finally leave Tunnel "B".  So, with this new wrinkle added, is this possible - or am I just spinning my wheels here?

Thanks,

Brian
