Yes, you need IGP routing between the ebgp peers if it's not directly conneted. By default,ebgp session can be established only if the destination is 1 hop away, this is because TTL is set to 1 in ebgp OPEN msg..So if want to establish ebgp session between routers which are not directly connected then EBGP Multihop will help. Note that ebgp multihop wont establish the bgp session if there is no igp routing between the peers.. Pls rate the useful posts -bava ... View more

Hi Sebastien, You can acheive it using a single route map. Match the networks you want to route via different path in a ACL/prefix List and Call the ACL in the route-map match statement. Use set ip next-hop x.x.x.x in the action statement to specify the second DG . All other traffic can be routed via normal routing table. HTH -bava ... View more
