[c-nsp] Growing BGP tables

[David J. Hughes]

My point exactly Brian.  We are faced with a problem and I'm sure we 
all agree it's quite a serious problem.  But I don't see that the 
problem is the fact that there are /24's in the global table.  The 
problem is that there are /24's in the global table that just don't 
belong there.

If we can solve this with a scalpel why use a chain saw ;)
