I'm no BGP guru, but I would have thought also that redistributing *full
routes* (as opposed to a default) into your IGP might overload internal
routers rather badly. The original poster referred to 2600s and 3600s
inside the AS.

You'd have to be careful about advertising those routes back out to BGP
again. There was a famous case of someone bringing down the Internet by
creating such a loop. Needless to say, their ISP shouldn't have been
accepting advertisements for networks that the company didn't own.
