BGP will discard any prefix with its own AS in the path, for loop prevention. Hence, one half of the AS would still be unable to reach the other half.

True. This also assumes that we aren't talking about vanilla access here or perhaps you don't have local servers. This could also be fixed with a floating static I suppose as well. At any rate, it depends on your setup I suppose. Connecting remote offices != Bad, Vanilla access = probably tolerable. andy -- PGP Key Available at http://www.tigerteam.net/andy/pgp
