2 BGP Peers/2 address blocks/1 Customer

[EMES]

I have a customer utilizing two address blocks at two locations(geographically different). We use static routes at both locations to direct traffic for these networks. Recently they have requested the ability to use either address block at either location. Their goal is to route both of these networks within their private network and advertise both networks to us via BGP. Each peer will transmit one network with higher prepends to make one location preferred for inbound routing. The design seems to work but I am not getting the results I expect when I do a show iproute for these networks. I would expect to either see the preferred route shared within my private network or both of them with varying distances. My two BGP Routers have similar results:
Router.15 # show iproute 10.0.140.0/23 Ori Destination Gateway Mtr Flags VLAN Duration
#be 10.0.140.0/24 10.0.42.218 6 UG-D---um--f X480Test 2d:19h:0m:17s #be 10.0.141.0/24 10.0.42.218 2 UG-D---um--f X480Test 2d:19h:0m:17sThe other router shows the same thing with the metrics flipped. I believe this to be functional but show iproute and traceroute's show it to be taking the shortest path and ignoring prepends. Let me know where I can provide further details to try and get to the bottom of this.

Hi,

So you have 2 routers having an iBGP peering together, and each is having an eBGP peering to the same customer, right?

What are you receiving from your external neighbor on each routers?
What your routers are transmitting/receiving in terms of routes?
Is the customer using a same ASN?
Do you set any Local Pref?
Are you changing your nexthop for your iBGP peering?

in case it helps, I disabled one peer and it doesn't show up in a show iproute on the other switch. I am curious if there isn't something in my ibgp config that is holding up the show.
