unless unusual agreements exist with peers, this is pretty much normal 
config everywhere ever since vaf whacked asp and me in '96.  otherwise, 
if you peer multiple places, the peer sees inconsistent routes, which 
usually gets you a nastygram from rigorous peers.

omg!  asymmetric routing on the internet!  world at eleven, end of news 
predicted! :)

meeting at multiple points and hot potato gets you asymmetry right off 
the bat.
