Are these MPLS VPNs yours or for customers? When we provide MPLS VPNs to
customers and they want the VPN to also have internet access, we have the
customer buy an internet connection and do NAT on their CPE, not on our
hardware. Typically, a MPLS VPN customer will have internet access at
just one location (though you could do it at multiple or each location).
Each VRF then has a default route pointing to the customer site that has
the internet connection.
