In the past I was confused about RIPEs standpoint on assignment of PA space to users that are going to be running BGP and be dual homed. I think it would be good to include something in the document that I read on the list before if this is a acceptable assignment practice. Below is part of an email from Nurani Nimpuno on 03 Aug 2001. "However, it is also possible to multi-home by having a PA address range announced through two providers. If the PA addresses come from ISP A's allocation, the customer would have to agree with ISP B to announce that range separately. ISP A would also have to announce the range as a more specific route together with their aggregate."
