Well, yes. and No ;)
Of course, it can be done this way but it results
in a long and cumbersome policy (imho). I'd rather
have separate policies that I can apply to certain
peers as not to mix things up. A small "neighor
blabla" in the from statement is easily forgotten
;)
Internally XORP would probably handle it just the
same.
