Chuck, you didn't explicity say this, but I assume the route you were
blackholing was being originated by AS51002/R5, right? If so, then this
makes scenario makes sense and supports the operation of the key loop
prevention feature of BGP, which is that an AS will NOT accept any update
where it's own AS # is already contained within the AS path attribute. If
the route had been originated within AS 51000 or 51003, then it should still
have made it to AS 51001.
