If you actually want to do this, you've got four choices:
- Policy route, as mentioned below.
- Get the customer their own connection to Cogent.
- Have a border router that only talks to Cogent and doesn't
receive full
routes from your core, and connect the customer directly to that.
- Do something involving route servers and switches outside your
border
routers, a-la-Equinix Direct.
What about an MPLS VPN?
There are a variety of layer 2 solutions for this problem. One simple
solution: Get Cogent to provide you two "sessions" via link layer
identifiers - FR encaps with separate DLCI on POS or two separate
VLANs on Ethernet. Then use the L2 solution of your choice - GRE
tunnel, Martini, whatever.
I also sort of like "get the customer their own connection to Cogent".
