I am glad someone brought this up, i assumed this was a part in parcel thing with BGP. I know one of our upstreams this wont be an issue with. The other, well I have had to talk them through configuring things. I am beginning to think I made a mistake in not learning anything BGP. I thought it was best that way so I wouldnt screw shit up. but as we are getting closer to D day, I see, we are going to end up fucked for a period. and not that happy " I love you baby" f*%#ed. more along the lines of " did we start with a condom? Cause there isnt a condom" f*&^%d.
