The answer is clearly to number into an aggregate if you are dual homed. Sprint will take the aggregate and at least have one path to your prefix, very likely two if your two providers exchange your more specific route between each other. It is not a catch-22. Numbering into one of the provider's aggregates is a clear win. Curtis - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
