will ISP peer with 2 local WAN routers?

[maillist at webjogger.net (Adam Greene)]

Hi guys,

 

I have a customer who peers via eBGP with Lightpath aka Cablevision (AS
6128) and Level3 (AS 3356) and wants to do some dual-WAN router redundancy.

 

I have heard that carriers will sometimes agree to set up a /29 WAN subnet
for a customer and peer with (2) customer routers.

 

The customer is delaying on providing me with the proper circuit ID &
contact information to be able to call Lightpath and Level3 directly and
find out if they will do this, so I thought of asking this list.

 

Is anyone aware if Lightpath and Level3 will agree to something like this? 

 

Thanks,

Adam
