I agree with John on this one - there is nothing you can do to influence which inbound path a packet will take. I say try the cash option!

The way I see it--Outbound policy is completely within
your control. Inbound policy unfortuantely is not. The
best you can hope for is to provide a "hint" to the
neighboring AS. If that AS decides to take the hint
then you are fortunate.
If that administrator will not cooperate you can
always try cash! ;)
Cheers,
John
