unless unusual agreements exist with peers, this is pretty much normal
config everywhere ever since vaf whacked asp and me in '96. otherwise,
if you peer multiple places, the peer sees inconsistent routes, which
usually gets you a nastygram from rigorous peers.

meeting at multiple points and hot potato gets you asymmetry right off
