Subject: gated and bgp4 secure?

We now have two connections to the Internet. The routers connecting the t1
lines to our bastion host are running the bgp4 protocol. So that our bastion
host utilizes the two connections to their fullest, we are considering
running the gated protocol on the bastion host.
(We currently use a static route to one of the routers)

Does running gated on the bastion host compromise security of our internet
firewall in any way?

Is any security dependent on the o.s being used?

Thanks,
Jon
