With that, you could use 'dest = RTD_UNREACHABLE;' (or RTD_PROHIBIT or RTD_BLACKHOLE) to change route destination type. Changing gw currently works only within one iface. THE hole RTD_BLACKHOLE-thingy was read-only before, right? I remember that I tried this in the first place but something in the documentation stopped me at some point. So, in the future, RTD_BLACKHOLE plus a high preference would prevent the bogon routes to be overwritten if someone announces them accidentally.

Nice feature, I'll give it a try as soon as it shows up in bird's debian repo. -- Dan Luedtke http://www.danrl.de
