I tried that, and gated didn't like it.. but I believe that was due to
other factors. 207.204.248.82 is in a subnet 207.204.248.80, but the gated
machine is also on the network 207.204.248.0 - I think gated doesn't like
one interface having a subnet that's inside a larger net on the same box.
Cisco routers would call this "variable length subnet masks". (This is a
DSL ethernet bridging situation).

I was able to get gated running a BGP session on my test box, by
configuring it on the master one as a "test" connection, where it doesn't
care about the peer being on a locally attached network.

I'll change the way I have addresses assigned and try again, or try
multi-hop with a Cisco further into the network.

Ok.
