In my experience, the guys that are getting money from you will route what you want routed unless they have reason to believe you are not legitimately entitled to route it. > 3.

If he's trying to run a /25 or longer, then, life will indeed suck, but, not because of the RIR issues, because of the long-prefix problem. > 4.
