At http://www-fp.mcs.anl.gov/~nickless/MBGP+PIMSM+MSDP.ppt is a Microsoft 
PowerPoint presentation that goes through the background of how these 
protocols work together and what their purposes are.  It also includes some 
sample Cisco configuration statements that you can use as a basis.

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/120newft/120 
t/120t7/mbgp.htm and 
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/120newft/120 
t/120t7/msdp.htm are the documentation for MBGP and MSDP from Cisco.  These 
features first became available in the 12.0(7)T release, but I recommend 
using the 12.0(9)S release because it is considerably better 
debugged.  Also, some Cisco documentation suggests PIM Sparse-Dense mode, 
but you really don't want your campus network flipping into PIM Dense Mode 
(which happens when a group doesn't have a PIM Rendezvous Point).

If you have any other questions I would be glad to help you out.
