I'm wondering if routers support configuring a BFD neighbor separately
from a BGP neighbor and then using BFD for next-hop validation. I'm
guessing not.

So for those of you looking at using BFD, in addition to the bilateral
peering, you'd need to filter the routes coming from the route servers
and drop those of your BFD peers, right? Otherwise, when your session to
the peer goes down, you'd still be hearing their routes from the route
server.

I've updated the website. The route servers will need to be updated too,
and this frees up 206.108.255.28.
