Perhaps the networks are disconnected? Perhaps there is insufficient bandwidth between the cities to carry inter-city traffic?
So, why would GRE not be a reasonable (temporary) solution here? If the islands are going to remain disconnected long term, why not get additional AS numbers?
I don't believe the fact of having multiple ASNs solves this issue, I believe ARIN looks at allocated space per OrgID.
I find blaming 250 extra routes WITH EXACTLY THE SAME PATH INFO on ARIN pretty unconvincing...
Personally, I (or my routers) don't have a problem -- at least at the moment. You could always filter. -- Alex Rubenstein, AR97, K2AHR, alex@nac.net, latency, Al Reuben Net Access Corporation, 800-NET-ME-36, http://www.nac.net
