Earlier today, however, I discovered that routes that I'm announcing under
the same ASN (in another location) are being received and put into the RIB
-- but never into the kernel's FIB.
that's correct behaviour, routes from the same AS aren't supposed to be
distributed via BGP but your IGP.
IGP is correct solution in most cases, but it doesn't cover the
situation when you need to accept a route originated from your remote
location or a customer connected to your remote location.
and your remote location is a few AS hops away from you.
that's where 'allow-as in' come into play.
although i would agree that it is a hack.
