RE: How to override the BGP Decision Process if possible?

U can set the weight on the routers you are advertising to. R1 sends to
R2 and R3. R2 and R3 are most likely sharing routes with other routers
in AS 200. Just set the weights on those routers to 100 for R3 and 200
for R2.
Hope that makes sense.

        You can use BGP conditional advertisement on R1 to accomplish
this.
