Shared link for BGP connectivity is a bad idea. Imagine that one of your
customer leave proxy-arp on his interface, or imagine that he makes a
Layer2 loop. Then all other customers will be affected. Usually a
customer with BGP is on another level, so a gain of some IP's doesn't
worth the trouble IMHO.
