Hi Pierluigi,

I'd quite like to share the backhaul "core" links between routers if I can, and avoid duplicating configuration on them.

One possibility that did occur to me is to use communities to separate which BGP prefixes get learned in to which kernel route tables, possibly by learning all the iBGP routes in to one separate non-kernel table then using pipes to the various different kernel tables. I need to check if this works, though :)
