In the case that there is both iBGP and IGP running internally, is there any reason to choose one or the other to originate 
a default route to our aggregation/access layers?  At some point I imagine it's going to be redistributed into the IGP 
(or re-originated in the IGP), so would think it would be best to just always run the default in the IGP to keep things 
consistent.



Thanks,

We recently started migrating from "IGP for everything" to "BGP for customers, IGP for infrastructure". We have chosen to go with the default route in IGP, since we consider IGP strictly internal (no redistribution allowed anywhere) and something to be trusted more than BGP.
