But if you hide the customer block in your aggregate, and the other provider advertises only the more specific block, all the traffic will go via the other provider unless the other provider is down. For multihoming to work, you need to advertise both the aggregate and the more-specific, while the other provider advertises the more-specific of your address space. It's also a good idea that all of these policies are recorded in a routing registry. Otherwise, other providers may generate filters that do not consider the multihoming structure.
