The exchange point isn't a data centre. Also, having RFC 1918 address space floating inside an ISP's core might not be such a good idea. Most ISP's filter them at the edge. uRPF would also kill any such routing. > PS:He may need to make a monthly visit to blow out the > dust.

It would be workable to use BGP policies to achieve this, and not having to use RFC 1918 address reduces the complexity for everyone. Cheers, Mark.
