I am not fan of uRPF, expensive for what it does. But I don't view it
as an alternative here, I view it as either adding an ACE on all
egresses on egress direction or adding ACE on the ingress where
customer is on ingress direction.

To me these options seem equally complex but the latter one seems superior.
