Internet routes in Gobal Routing Table or in a VRF ?

Sun Jun 8 03:06:22 UTC 2003

The biggest benefit to using a VRF as I see it is that
you will help prevent accidental redistribution of
internet routes to VPN customers.  Biggest downside:
$VENDOR_C and $VENDOR_R SEs will tell you that their
boxen will croak if you do it.  Solution: $VENDOR_J
does support it.
