Good point Rudy. If you plan on doing BGP yourself, go get yourself the
book "Internet Routing Architectures by Bassam Halabi" (I think that's
right - It's by Cisco Press?). Read it, learn it, and love it before trying
it. Hopefully your upstreams will have route filters (and they probably do)
in place to prevent you from blackholing anyone, but to be on the safe side,
either be sure you know what you're doing, or get someone who does to help
you.
