I have an opportunity to launch services in a remote marke, where I cannot extend my backbone to.
However, this market is big enough that I can afford to put a Cisco 7201 over there and peer in BGP-4.
Do you have any advice as to what may happen if I advertise different blocks from the same AS number, from two different locations, one of which I do not have my own transport facilities to...
F.
This probably qualifies as a "unique routing policy" under ARIN NRPM
section 5. That allows you to get another AS number.
You could also get a small block of staticly-routed IPs from your ISPs
in each location and use them to anchor a VPN (e.g. a GRE tunnel).
That'd have the effect of extending your backbone.

Why burn an ASN? There is no need. With "neighbor $FOO allowas-in", you can even see your own prefixes.

Another useful suggestion. Hell, don't even need GRE tunnels - who said all your IP space had to be in your personal ASN?
