It's only a small network setup. Housing C is the source and destination of
almost all traffic to AS-C. The BGP-routers A1, A2, B1, C1 and C2 are all
part of AS-C and directly linked via iBGP. bgpB1 is only peering to AS-B and
backup upstream. bgpA1 and A2 are the main upstream peering points.
bgpC1 is main router, bgpC2 is backup router @ Housing C running OpenBSD.
I though setting Multipath for the incoming routes from bgpA1 and A2 on
bgpC1 and C2 would be a kind feature for testing.

I hope you mean communites on prefixes, and even in that case what can the
provider do that you can't ?
What does your topology look like ?
