A new AS number can be requested by anyone (via any LIR) for any use where
there is a seperate routing policy. So, as long as yy.foo has a different
rouing policy to xx.foo, it is eligable for another AS number via the
original LIR.

How do you sleep? How do you last the night and keep the dogs at bay?
How do you feel when you close your eyes, and try and drift away?
Does it feel any better now? Does it mean anymore
When the angel of death comes knock, knocking, And banging at your door?
