It's not an ideal solution.  While originating a route advertisement from 
two disjoint ASNs can be made to work, it's definitely not an optimal 
solution and troubleshooting connectivity problems becomes more complex.
Also, if you want to change something about your border routing policies 
in the future, you have to get your upstreams to make those changes on 
your behalf, in addition to you making whatever changes you need between 
your network and your upstreams.
