Ah, well that would do it too. If your other route is non-BGP (for 
example, a static or IGP route) you can work around this by configuring 
"advertise-inactive" in BGP to make it advertise the best BGP route. If 
the wrong BGP route is active, you probably just need to tweak your 
localprefs. :)

All my policy evaluation bugs are REALLY obscure, for example subroutine 
policies which will randomly not apply any actions in any term that 
doesn't contain a "then accept". I've never seen a problem with a 
configuration as simple as yours.
