Yea, they do use a cdn, but their backend servers are on their subnet... It 
worked perfectly on mikrotik this way...

I assume you're doing this to get past the GeoIP region-blocking on BBC
iPlayer.

It's worth mentioning that - if I recall correctly - the BBC don't
actually host most of their content on their own IP block; much of it
goes via CDNs which will inevitably have their own netblocks. So you may
find you have to route a much larger chunk of address space via your VPN
than originally planned.

Kind regards,

Chris
