If the link to the customer is of a type that detects up/down quickly, =
the easiest way to get around this is to simply point a default to the =
customer interface at router B.
Another option is running a separate OSPF instance between B and the =
customer.
Or just ignore the issue that if/when the link to the customer goes =
down, router B doesn't notice and keeps forwarding packets into the =
void. You would want to make sure that the customer's prefix isn't =
propagated in OSPF, though, so the issue is limited to this one router, =
not the whole AS.=
