That's strange. Your 701 connection goes down and you've filtered any backup route you had into them. Good thinking.
I always local-prefed paths to other upstreams down via a specific upstream in my 2x removed previous life. made traffic flow the "best" path and was useful when you had a connection (but not directly to ANS, one of their "sub AsES") w/ ANS and wanted to insure that traffic to ANS went over your ANS link instead of via 1239, 701, or 3561 because of as-path win/tiebreak. - jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared@puck.nether.net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
