*sigh*

The as6332 (after a bit of digging) belongs to a customer of ours. I was
unaware that they were announcing any routes out alternate paths, or using an
AS to do it (they do not bgp peer with us). I'll have to talk to them tomorrow.

As for Bill's router sandbox, he said he wanted ALL routes, not just our
routes, so I hadn't put any filters/aggregation in place for his peer.
I've removed the peer for now until I can "fix" it and send out just the
aggregates.

Bill, I should have it up tomorrow afternoon, too tired to work on it now...
