Perhaps the networks are disconnected? Perhaps there is insufficient
bandwidth between the cities to carry inter-city traffic?
So, why would GRE not be a reasonable (temporary) solution here? If the
islands are going to remain disconnected long term, why not get
additional AS numbers?
I don't believe the fact of having multiple ASNs solves this issue, I
believe ARIN looks at allocated space per OrgID.
I find blaming 250 extra routes WITH EXACTLY THE SAME PATH INFO on ARIN
pretty unconvincing...
Personally, I (or my routers) don't have a problem -- at least at the
moment. You could always filter.
