So, this evening wasn't too exciting.  Then in #xicada...

23:02 < prox> I still wanna run BGP, wahh.
23:04 < cyberconte> prox: lets

Now Xicada is split into two private autonomous systems, 65011 [cyberconte] and 65003 [me, and everyone else who's not running BGP].  Quagga handled the eBGP and iBGP connections decently, and the configuration wasn't too complex.  Although, for some reason Quagga reports the eBGP session as iBGP.  Gotta be a bug in bgpd, I'd think.

Now to convince the other two members to move to BGP, and get off the [pretty diverse] OSPF area 0.0.0.0 we've been using for awhile.  It'll be nice to be able to redistribute directly connected public netblocks via OSPF and not worry about nullrouting someone else :)

Also, this past weekend I redid the network again.  Converted my nat/router box here from a Celeron 333 w/Debian running iptables, to a Celeron 2.0 [the old starfire!] s/FreeBSD running pf.  Also threw four NICs in it, grabbed a third RR IP, and am now having pf load balance outgoing internet connectivity between my PIX 506 and NetScreen 5GT.  Yeah, I'm running OSPF on both of them, too.  I'll update my network diagram soon ... I promise.

Fun!
