Re: AS and advertisen questions

Yep, we do it that way.

We basically treat each of our datacenter's as their own entity, using
separate space for each, but all with the same AS #.  What Joel
mentioned is going to be the major catch, in that for each of the two
disconnected AS's to accept the opposite sites routes, you'd need to
relax BGP's loop prevention check (which looks for it's own AS #
within the AS Path of incoming routes).

If your on Cisco gear, you'd need to add an additional command under
the BGP neighbor configuration that says "allowas-in".  Here's a breif
doc from Cisco on configuring this
