[rrg] [lisp] Economic issues of long-path / stretched routing

	This is just an artifact of the way I built it. You could
	put up a ALT tunnel betwen Savvis and L3 if that was of
	interest (and Savvis & L3 wouldn't have to further
	advertise those routes to the rest of the ALT). Also,
	its a somewhat artifcial observation because the L3 box
	is in London, so I thought it made sense to home it to
	RIPE. If L3 had ALT routers in the US, the situation
	would be likely different.

	BTW, the current configuration of the ALT is a first
	cut. There may be better ways to do it, but I did want to
	get something running so we could gain some experience.

	Or am I answering the wrong question?

	Dave
