I don't like the term, because I first do a destination lookup and  
only look up the source address in certain cases. Kind of like the  
previous comment on source routing, which in IEEE 802.5, DSR, and RFC  
791 IP means that the source specifies all or part of the routing  
path. I think the term mis-states the case.

But yes, in certain cases where there is a multipath route, the point  
is that if the datagram is handed to the wrong ISP and the ISP is  
doing ingress filtering, the datagram will be dropped, and hence I  
suggest that we direct it toward the right ISP.

Is there something wrong with that? Would you prefer it be dropped as  
it leaves the site? Would you prefer that the matter be indeterminate?
