Don't do that. The routing table is more than full.

Please help contribute to *reduce* the number of routes, instead of
increasing it ever further.

Everybody should try to only announce the absolute minimum of routes
that are necessary to be visible world-wide. Traffic balancing by
announcing more specifics is something that is fancy these days, but
it costs *everybody* due to router load and routing table size! *Don't*.
