There was a question mark after that statement :-)

So far FUBARS by provider A have not generated any extra technical
support for provider B.  At least in a simple multihome situation it
isn't too hard to tell who is hosing things using online routing tools.
It may generate more traffic to B but I don't see it causing a support
issue.
