The filter list is just a small as-path access-list that only allows
routes with certain as-paths (i.e. no path, or a few ^_(customer-as_)+$)  
to be advertised to the transit providers.

The same filter list is applied to the uunet session, and doesn't cause 
any problems with communities on that one.

I guess it's time to post to nanog looking for a Sprint routing engineer 
with clue.  I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something first.
