Again I know it can handle lots of sessions, and lots of routes over those
sessions it's getting them into bgp.....

They aren't co-lo servers but for the purposes of this discussion assume
they are.
No the traffic won't actually flow over the OpenBSD boxes as they won't
handle the traffic load. They are there to inject routes into bgp and to
give the routers next hop information. OpenBSD also won't let you add routes
where the nexthop is not locally reachable.
