BGP path selection

Hello,

Here's what I want to do. I've got bird running BGP to two transit
network providers. I want my path selection to be like this:

1) Choose the shortest AS path.
2) If the AS path is equal in length, prioritise one provider (the
cheaper one!) over the other.

Possible, or not? I can do it with local priority, but then all
traffic goes down one provider. I want to supply the tiebreaker when
it comes to equal length AS paths.

David
