When I ran a smaller simpler network, I did have input filters on our 
transit providers rejecting packets from our IP space.  With a larger 
network, multiple IP blocks, numerous multihomed customers, some of which 
use IP's we've assigned them, it gets a little more complicated to do.

I could reject at our border, packets sourced from our IP ranges with 
exceptions for any of the IP blocks we've assigned to multihomed 
customers.  The ACLs wouldn't be that long, or that hard to maintain.  Is 
this common practice?
