I have seen this work well when the exchange allows more than one MAC =
address to be presented at layer2. This way you can have two separate =
sub interfaces presented, one for peering and one for your private cross =
connect/transit. That way the routing all stays clean and manageable. =
It's still a little messy, but is a much better solution than getting =
peering and transit over a single layer3 interface.

I know a couple networks that offer to sell transit over exchanges that =
permit it, but require that you take a private VLAN on the exchange.
Some exchanges offer private VLANs, others don't.
