Initial instinct has to just be 'yuck', but in the interest of getting the job done, I'd look at : - how is it registered ? Are your customer mentioned ? - is it already a prefix which is announced seperately from the rest of the aggregated block ? - if the customer wants to multihome, have they even considered PI ? - are the customer happy for you to talk to the aggregating company ? are you happy to talk to them ? - it's still 'yuck'.
Frankly, if the customer is multihomed, then, it might be preferable for them to go direct to ARIN for an end-user assignment. These are now available as small as a /22 since the adoption of policy 2002-3. Owen -- If it wasn't crypto-signed, it probably didn't come from me.
