2a) Get the client to form a BGP session with the cisco3550 and

(multihop) is setup between the client and the 6500. Layer3 protocols
(in this case OSPF) provide redundancy in the cloud. Traffic entering
our network for the client will be routed straight to the cisco 3550.
Traffic from the client will be backhauled all the way to the cisco
6500 before being sent on it's way.
This is similar to what Cogent does. However, your last statement is
incorrect. The 3550 will look at the destination IP, and send it along
*its* best path (or rather to the nexthop in it's best path) to the
destination.
