[api-ip] [lir-wg] Question to a multihomed PA-space connection

equal policy routing, no AS required;  here's an example of the commands;

8 - I have two providers and two separate ip netblocks .. yours and the
other guys.. How do I route machines using your ip's down your interface,
and machines using the other guys ip's down his interface?

simple
need three things
a way to determine which machine is talking.. -- access list
based on this source address change the default route on the fly --- route
maps
and apply the above solution to the interfaces.  --  interface cmds below

! these match the blocks you got from different providers
! notice the ip NETWORK-ADDRESS and inverted MASK (the any is the
destination)

access-list 198 permit ip 208.48.145.0 0.0.0.255 any
access-list 199 permit ip 207.67.174.128 0.0.0.63 any


! these set the policy and the default route on the fly
! these set only the default address if the block is not directly
connected

route-map equal-access permit 10
match ip address 198
set ip default next-hop 204.246.203.113
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ far side of 198 block
route-map equal-access permit 20
match ip address 199
set ip default next-hop 204.137.203.153
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ far side of 199 block



! these apply the above to the interfaces
! this example applies to two separate interfaces
! individually configured .. if both ip addresses are on the same
! interface using the secondary command.. just apply to that interface

interface E0
ip policy route-map equal-access
!
int e1
ip policy route-map equal-access
