I am kinda young in the industry, so maybe I should keep my mouth shut. But,
I would be concerned about this from a liability perspective. Let's say that
something happened and you did accidentally allow routing to leak into the
global internet. You would be blackholing someone, heaven forbid, an
ecommerce site or another money-making site. I wonder if your company could
be help liable and be forced to pay damages for this inconvenience. Maybe
someone out there has heard of this happening???

Just a thought...
