Ok, I guess I did not read original post closely enough. PF is for 
reinjecting routes that match local rules back into bgp, right?
If so I apologize, I though it was talking about taking bgp data
and using it to filter local servers....

For looking at active routes and seeing which ones match the rules I 
personally use "hacked" bird daemon, but it is not ready for public
testing...
