Re: advertising BGP... BGP anycast from different AS's

To be more specific (and after doing more research), can one advertise
to an ebgp neighbor a more specific route of a supernet it is learning
from the same neighbor? What if it is an identical route? I assume you
would have to filter it with a prefix list.

I realize this is not best practice anycast BGP and that RFC 1930
suggests on prefix one AS, but... how would it be done?

thanks,
jeff
