LARTC - Sep 2001 - Screwy network question

This doesn''t come under the call of traffic control, but this
group''s
about the best place I can think of to ask the question.

Under IPRoute2, or Zebra, or GATED, or anything else that''ll work, and
looking at the attached PNG, does anyone have some suggestions for
making this thing work?  R1 and R2 will have to use BGP4 to peer with
the Internet 2 router.  R1 can fully advertise routes.  R2 must get
updates but NOT advertise routes.  R2 or an additional box must NAT to a
real address anything going to Internet 2.  R1 has no NAT requirements.

The NAT/proxy boxes are not negotiable, as they are associated with
school districts, and thanks to Congress, we have requirements for
content filtering that are of questionable value, but are law.

Any thoughts or suggestions anyone might have would be appreciated!

TIA, gerry

Your PNG is nearly unreadable, so if you can provide a better one, please
do. Also, do you have tangible problems already, or is this an openended
question?

I am very interested to help, but so far your question is pretty broad.

Well, gated is old, and I don''t thinkt it does BGP4. Zebra is pretty
cool
and there is also another project like it that you might want to look into.
If I remember the name, I''ll post it. 

But please supply more information!
