Mike,

I'm not sure this is strictly true.  Since routes are summarized to higher
peer groups and longest match is used to determine route,
wouldn't a local lecs with well-known address always be chosen over a
remote lecs with the same address?  One could also use route
filtering to limit the advertisement of the well-known lecs address to a
single
peer group, or a single switch, or whatever.  Hence, it would seem
possible to run multiple lecs in different peer groups, all using the same
address. Am I missing something?

regards,

Allen
