Chris,

Here's what I do with my IPv4 /24: I advertise it at higher priority
at the larger POP and a slightly lower priority at the smaller POP.
Then I got a small block of addresses from each upstream at each POP
(from their still-aggregated blocks) to anchor a set of VPNs between
the two. Something has to go disastrously wrong for me to suffer any
worse effects than the occasional inefficient routing.
