One thing..  the OP was asking about anyone using Vyatta for BGP.
Using Vyatta for BGP doesn't necessarily mean the Vyatta unit is actually a device
forwarding the packets...  someone could be using it as a route server, or for
otherwise populating forwarding  tables of other devices with
third-party next hops :-)

I would expect a properly configured Vyatta running as a route server
to be pretty darn near zortch-proof, no?  (Barring BGP packet-o-death
issues of course - but is there a router vendor who *hasn't* had at
least 2 or 3 of those? ;)
