Ralph, there is nothing wrong with doing that. Just make sure that you don't have any routers without full tables in your transit path -- i.e. between your two peering routers -- and it will be fine as long as you don't do anything wacky like redistributing BGP routes into OSPF. Be careful with redistributing in the other direction also. There's no problem. It won't ruin anything. It is a pretty standard setup. Cheers, -w
