Bird for RTBH trigger

I've got a multi site BIRD cluster setup in a master slave deployment. My
master server is where I apply static routes with tags. Based on the tag
certain communities get added during propagation. From those communities I
can specify one site, several sites, or all sites receive the route. Also I
have my routers and firewalls setup so that they peer with their local BIRD
server. From there the route sent could blackhole, force traffic across my
WAN, or force traffic out the local site Internet.
