First of all, there are no "unusual" questions regarding BGP. BGP is all about doing bizarre things in order to meet SLA's or fulfill contractual obligations and customer requirements.
One might conclude that there is nothing "usual" or "normal" about BGP Focus on how BGP installs a route, and then consider alternatives that would prefer one path over another. Some things that come to mind are AS PATH lengths, weights, communities. There are probably a bunch more that my simple mind can't think of off hand. Read down the list of the ten things BGP considers when installing a route. What commands effect each of those things. HTH Chuck -- www.chuckslongroad.info like my web site? take the survey!
