well, if the only path to the destination is through the "non-MPLS part
of the network", there will be no TE path available. so the tunnel will
go down and the statics go away, and IGP path will be chosen. Well, you
could add loating statics to Null0.. but this is certainly not "nice"
and requires lot of manual work..
