This shouldn't be done. Never advertise more specifics unless there's
a hard reason to - load balancing isn't. Look at the sorry state of the

3. Check with the upstream provider(s) what kind of "community" settings
exist to control incoming traffic. This can often be finer grained
than prepending.
