I've played with that before. Essentially just EBGP Multi-hop with
next-hop rewrites on various community prefixes. Of course I had
access to a donor feed, that is probably the largest hurdle.
There is good use in general for a public no-distribute feed but I
have yet to find such a thing. Is there a reason for that, or could I
bribe my datacenter to give me a feed and then create my own public
server with some el-cheapo Quagga and a bag of rainbows for hope?
