My question is, which is the correct method of implementing this? Should we be redistributing static and connected routes on our borders into IGP, and not using next-hop-self? Or should we not redistribute and use next-hop-self?
I always recommend setting the NEXT_HOP attribute to 'self' for all iBGP sessions at the (peering) edge, and using your IGP to provide reachability to all Loopback addresses in the network. This scales quite well. And while IGP/BGP redistribution may be possible, we tend to avoid it as much as possible. Cheers, Mark.
