Bill, For what you are asking you can try something like the following: router bgp no sync network w.x.y.z (your network advertisement) ... neighbor A.A.A.A neighbor A.A.A.A filter-list 10 in neighbor A.A.A.A filter-list 15 out ... neighbor B.B.B.B neighbor B.B.B.B filter-list 20 in neighbor B.B.B.B filter-list 25 out ip as-path access-list 10 deny ip as-path access-list 10 permit ip as-path access-list 15 ^$ (permit your local stuff outbound) ip as-path access-list 20 deny ip as-path access-list 20 deny _$ (don't take anything with ISP A's AS number as the origination of the path) ip as-path access-list 20 permit .* (everything else) ip as-path access-list 25 ^$ (permit your local stuff outbound) With this config just remember if the link on router A fails you will not have a backup link to their AS path thru router B's link. I don't think you want to do this, you have a couple of options on configs. The best way to figure out what you want for redundancy and load balancing is to refer to Chapter 7 of Halabi's book Internet Routing Architectures. This sample has all the standard disclaimers. I would typically have a lot more in filter lists and access-lists but you can't include everything... Hope that helps.
