1) Either don't use default in any regional router or point regional
defaults at some authoritative router(s) and don't use a default in the
authoritative router(s).  Route to the NSFnet via your authoritative
router(s).

2) Point your regional or CIX default at some commercial internet
service provider instead of the NSFnet.

If you really want fallback routing configure in secondary and tertiary
paths for each net, instead of relying on default. Simple.  :-)
