I'm sure he could communities with his upstream provider to influence MED
advertisements, or used local-pref internally, but this would have the
effect of *all* traffic to those destinations following the same path.  I
think what the OP was wanting to do was have certain internal subnets follow
one path outbound, and other internal subnets follow another.  Hence the
requirement for source-based routing.
