[c-nsp] Configure two AS on one BGP router

howdy,

what is the reason for wanting to run 2 as on one router? are you trying to
provide true separation between the ASN's, VRF style, or just be able
masquerade as another ASN per se when talking to an upstream? 

would something like this meet the requirements?

"The local-AS feature allows a router to appear to be a member of a second
autonomous system (AS), in addition to its real AS."

"The local-AS feature is useful if ISP-A purchases ISP-B, but ISP-B's
customers do not want to modify any peering arrangements or configurations.
The local-AS feature allows routers in ISP-B to become members of ISP-A's
AS. At the same time, these routers appear to their customers to retain
their ISP-B AS number. "
