If I understand correctly, what you want is the same as conditional =
advertisements:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/tk80/technologies_configuration_exa=
mple09186a0080094309.shtml
except that it needs to be applied to received routes instead of =
advertised routes.

In other words, it's not enough for you to dump the bogon traffic in a =
blackhole; you also want to dump bogonish routes received from your =
peers before they even get to your RIB.

If I understood it right, a na=EFve look at it would be that since the =
function already exists in the other direction it should not be too big =
of a deal to do it the other way, but I'm not the one compiling IOS.
