Sam, have a look at Zebra at
http://www.zebra.org/ It is very impressive, it understands BGP-4, OSPF, as well as RIPv1 and RIPv2. If it is just for home lab use it is an amazing piece of software.

I only have a 2501 right now. I plan on buying a couple more. I have a few spare Dell's and extra nic's at work lying around. I would like to load Linux or FreeBSD on those and use GateD to make them routers. The point of this is to have extra networks to connect to the Cisco's and practice OSPF and BGP for routing. This way I can have more routes to dynamically discover and more to troubleshoot. Has anyone done this before? If so could you lead me to some documentation on GateD? All I found through google were links to man pages.
