Well, sure, but why should I _have_ to? I thought we, in part, pay the big bucks for routers that are supposed to figure some of this stuff out on their own without having to "band-aid" things with AS path manipulations, etc.
Try reading the manual. How is the router supposed to know what you want to do. BGP4 knows nothing of link speeds, and I hope it never does, the instabilities it could cause are frightening. I don't think the people who came up with BGP4 ever expected to see what some people do with their router configs. Regards, Neil. -- Neil J. McRae. Alive and Kicking.
