Initial instinct has to just be 'yuck', but in the interest of getting
the job done, I'd look at :
- how is it registered ? Are your customer mentioned ?
- is it already a prefix which is announced seperately from the rest of
the aggregated block ?
- if the customer wants to multihome, have they even considered PI ?
- are the customer happy for you to talk to the aggregating company ?
are you happy to talk to them ?
- it's still 'yuck'.
