Hi Amos

Not clear how TE alone will help here .
My guess that the only solution is the  "ugly" policy based routing along 
with TE .
A special case  :
if such pool are connected to a specific PE ,ie: say PE1 where no other pool 
are
also connected to PE1 .
Over PE1 , we could do any BGP trick to prefer BGP route comming from ASBR1 
over ASBR2 .
Run A TE tunnel from PE1 to ASBR1 (this to prevent any node along the path 
within the AS diverting the traffic to ASBR2 if such node selected ASBR2 as 
the best path for such destination ) .
ASBR1 should advertise this POOL with lower MID than ASBR2 (if the same 
provider) or
ASBR2 prepend AS NBR (if differen provider )  to ensure that the return path 
is also via ASBR1.

Pls comment.

Brgds
