The question I have is: is the class A address space you're using on your
LAN private? (10/8,192.168/16,etc)? Perhaps the tech was explaining why he
would not route your space because it is prohibited per RFC 1918.
In other words, if you have numbered your network with the 10/8 network
space, your ISP will not (re: SHOULD NOT) allow you to announce that space
to them. But if you have a legitimate IP space that has been swip'd to you
from your provider or ARIN, then your provider should announce that for you.
