It's never a good idea to carry "customer" routes in your IGP, you want
your IGP to be stable, so in a sound design it's only used to carry
loopback addresses, which are used for BGP next-hop, and everything else
is carried in (internal) BGP. If it's a more specific route that should
not be advertised outside the AS, then mark it with no-export.
