So, this feature will not be implemented? I think BIRD will turn into BGP swiss-knife if it will be.

Hi, Baptiste, I know about ExaBGP, but I'm using BIRD to do all the BGP stuff: loadbalancing via ecmp at webfrontends, routeservers, soft routers etc, and now I need an external announces handling, so I've placed a feature request here :). If honored BIRD developers will decide to not implement this feature, I will look at another routing software.

Maybe ExaBGP is more suited for this:
