This method, of course, is a bit unfriendly since you're making more announcements than you would be otherwise.
And if you are using 2 different providers for 2 POPs where the announcement is split, one POP is hosed.
Actually, if you mean you lost internal connectivity, each pop would be half hosed as long as you're announcing the /19 in both. In that case it might be best to just announce the specifics and let the traffic from the providers that do filter on masks longer than /19 be sub-optimal.
