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.
