The RPF filter was removed and all is working as it should be. My
thanks to everyone involved.


For the list: let this be your annual reminder that BGP and strict RPF
are incompatible with each other. Strict RPF just doesn't handle
asymmetric routing. If you try it, you'll inevitably create some black
holes. And you won't find them. Your customer will.

When you have a multihomed downstream customer, use static lists or an
API to build your BCP 38 filter instead.

And kudos to both Free Range and Edgoo for caring about BCP 38. Even
if it did cause me a little inconvenience.
