The "right" way is to write "firewall" protocol which can
insert/withdraw prefixes with optional constant (or filter-settable)
number. This is not so hard, btw (and I got one place where it is
definitely needed).

Various custom blackhole communities can be implemented this way, too



At the moment you can do 'birdc show route table XXX' | awk | sort >
file1, ipfw table YYY list | sort > file2, diff -u file1 | file2 and do
ipfw add/del based on +- sign
