Doesn't AUX refer to a Cisco AUX port? I'm impressed you got one
running faster than 115,200 Grahame :-)

Yeah... for example:
muchacho <-> BGP <-> UCC AGS+
UCC box <-> UCC AGS+ <-> either UCS or Loop0
based on BGP table
(use an incoming route-map
to pervert next hops
of appropriate AS-paths)
AGS+ loop0 set to NAT incoming packets to WAIX
addresses
...or something like that should do it :) Course you could
do the same with Zebra on Linux too.

Bah. Sell chocolates or something, and then buy a 7401ASR
edge services router and a pair of redundant 6500s... should
only take a century or two :-)))
