Hello All,
I sent out my first message to this mailing list and I've received
lots of replies. Thank you all for the support.
Philip,
Thanks for the suggestion. I'd assume that the customer can use the
same private AS to peer with both us and the other service provider,
correct ? Also, I need to add "remove-private-as" line for each of the
other BGP peerings. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Use a private ASN. Their routers are not sitting in your ASN, they are
sitting in their own ASN, they are using their own IGP. So I don't
understand the perceived liability problem - what is the difference as far
as the world is concerned between this customer and one connected via a
static route? In both cases, the route object is in the registry with their
name on it...
On the technical side:
- remember to use "remove-private-AS" before you announce the customer
addresses to the Internet.
- if the customer gets their address space from you and the other
provider, check out the BGP conditional advertisement feature.
HTH,
