Hello all,

We have a set up simplified as this:

Internet---[eBGP]---BR---[iBGP]---AR---[eBGP]---Cust_A

On the AR, we are receiving 2 routing paths to the customer's prefix:
[1] via Internet; 3 AS hops away
[2] announced from directly connected customer to AR; prefix is
     prepended 7ASNs

Now as I understand it AR will not announce the unattractive prepended 
prefix to the other local iBGP speakers in the network. And ultimately 
not announce this block to the Internet.

Is there a way to circumvent this? The customer wants to 'see' us 
announce the prepended announcement (although we have told them it will 
be announced if the more attractive one is removed).

Thanks in advance.
