Do they have IP address space from an upstream already? Then they can
ask that upstream for permission to multi-home that IP space, and set up
BGP appropriately. I did this at a Web hosting company a few years
back, and it worked just fine. (Eventually my company got its own
address space from ARIN and renumbered.)
