Interesting. Actually, RA route servers can handle this situation as we speak. RA RSs maintain a view per peer. In the view for Alternet, one would install the route from PSI and would not install the routes from Sprint and MCI. (In the view for sprint, install MCI's route and do not install Alternet's and PSI's, etc.) Of course, we need policies to do this.
