This config can also exist for an interim period whilst a customer is switching providers - hopefully the ex-provider will clean up, but there is nothing now in place to enforce it.

Ugh, this is why ASN's exist and is why ppl have been posting about inconsistent BGP announcements of late
If you originate the same block from 2 ASNs then you no longer have a single administrative area and need a 3rd ASN as per the RFC.
And if your regional registry refuses to assign an ASN you are cooked and you will probably end up using a solution like this. I'm not saying its good, I'm saying its bad, but unfortunately common practice. -- Sabri Berisha "I route, therefore you are" ~ my own opinions etc ~ Join Megabit LAN in open air! http://www.megabit.nl http://www.telegraaf.nl/imail/teksten/imail.lan.staat.party.megabit.html
