then only one peering session will come up, as routers only support one BGP session with any given router ID.
You can get both sessions up, but you'll only use one set of routes, which if you don't toy with any knobs, will be the one with the lower router ID. However, you can use BGP max paths and set it to 2, and both routes will be sent to the route table. Or you could use eBGP multihop. /Sean Butler
