Hrm, people keep saying that BGP is hard and takes time.

As well as my end-user-facing network responsibilities, I also have 
corporate network responsibilities here.  All of our corporate hub 
locations are multi-homed (or soon will be)... and I honestly can't 
remember the last time I made any changes (besides IOS upgrades) to 
BGP configs for the 2 hubs in the US.  (We're moving physical 
locations in the "international" hubs and taking new providers, so 
I'm discounting those changes as you'd have similar changes in a 
single homed statically routed move).

If you don't have multihoming requirements other than availability 
then it really can be fire and forget.

Except for those pesky bogon filters.... which corporations seem to like
to "fire and forget".
