It really depends on what you *want* to do. If the /24's you have assigned to them are non-contiguous then they will want to renumber anyway so they can advertise an aggregate. If you want to help them out, tell them to go ahead and advertise the /24's out of your aggregate. Some providers have stricter filtering, but generally will be reachable through other providers, so connectivity isn't a big deal. Sprint should be advertising an aggregate of your IP space which will bring all traffic to their network. Once it reaches Sprint's network, the more specific routes your customer is advertising will go to them and the rest will come to you. I can't see that this would add any additional load to your router. andy
It may not be that simple. I guess I should have mentioned that I don't route anything through Sprint. The only reason I've kept the Sprint circuit is to avoid re-IP-ing. Sprint isn't reliable enough to carry customer traffic. I do advertise the Sprint route, but I add a couple of hops to make sure the traffic goes through my "real" circuit.
