Jeff,

Even outside of BGP router_id topic for operational reasons resolving
router's IP addresses (especially those v6) to hostnames and to
interface names of the routers in anyone network would seem to me like
rather a useful idea. And that not on a dedicated management linux
station but on all routers.

When you do show command do you prefer to see bunch of digits or much
less and more meaningful ASCII strings ?

Here you have a choice .. flood it by all protocols or push local
hosts files. Since config is automated I do not see much issue in keep
up to date hosts file of your network on all boxes.

Thx,
r.
