We have some customers that have specifically requested this sort of arrangement. Hmm. Do you treat the customer routes received from the other peer to be "customer" routes, i.e. will you provide transit for them and re-advertise them to your interconnect peers? If not, then you'll prevent interconnect peers from using shortest-exit to get to those customer routes, which may be considered a problem by those peers. --Vince
