Chris, Thanks for the links - I have already seem the second one, thats the one that scared me so much in the first place - it is also very cisco focused. I did start to investigate BGP with freebsd and gated and was almost ready to tackle it, when I received an advisory about gated - cant find any reference to it now but I clearly remember it, I promise. Not sure about Zebra never got that far.
