The problem with this, if done, is that we back right into the other problem of prefix filtering. If the customer has a /19 or /20, there is generally no problem. But, if it is the usual case (/24) then only one of the upstreams can aggragate the routes up. What is the other ISP to do? How would this be made to work? BTW, this is exactly the reason we weren't fully multi-homed yet.
Yes, greg described a way where both interfaces (end point) were NAT'd. However, I have a concern with brittleness and tinker-factor there.
Apologies. We are a SP, and offer this service to customers. They get redundancy, and we don't have to punch holes in our aggregates. -travis
