No, we haven't come up with the BIRD configs to support that. There was 
just one specific case setup and done. 

If you want to supply BIRD magic to do that, it would be appreciated. 

Some areas identified already as sticking points have been 32-bit
AS's do need to be supported (We do have at least one member with a
32-bit AS). Otherwise, it looks like BIRD should be able to do it. 
We are running a fairly up-to-date version. 

The main impetuous before was to prevent route distribution to 
such-and-such CDN so they don't overload your pipe.
