Rereading your post, one would believe that since "Company X" is a BGP customer of yours, you're going to be sending them a full view. Unless there is a knob that I'm not familiar with, that means that you're going to be sending them the _BEST_ routes that you see in your core and not just those from "NSP A" to which you are proposing to policy-route all of "Customer X's" traffic. If this is indeed the case, I would think that policy-routing the customers traffic destined for "prefix Y" via a path other than the path listed in the NLRI you're sending "Customer X" on their BGP feed is outright fraud.
Suppose you apply an output route-map on their BGP session that prepends the heck out of paths where peer-A isn't your next as-hop? That way, you're giving them full routes and making it clear via BGP that if they have another path via another provider for non peer-A routes, the other will be better. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *jlewis@lewis.org*| I route System Administrator | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
