I assume you've read Enke Chen & Tony Bates drafts: Current Practice of Implementing Symmetric Routing and Load Sharing in the Multi-Provider Internet <draft-ietf-idr-symm-multi-prov-02.txt> Application of the BGP Destination Preference Attribute in Implementing Symmetric Routing <draft-ietf-idr-dpa-application-02.txt> Destination Preference Attribute for BGP <draft-ietf-idr-bgp-dpa-04.txt> Not a panacea, <draft-ietf-idr-bgp-dpa-04.txt> clearly states that: The AS that sets this attribute must include its AS number in the attribute. A BGP speaker may use the "LOCAL_PREF" attribute to select a different path other than the one specified by the DPA attribute value. This does not preclude an AS from re-setting this attribute. However, coordination with the upstream and/or downstream neighbors is strongly recommended. - paul
