I think this works, but i am also receiving a default route....

Yes vrfs.. I have to dive into the lab and test. The goal is to annouce a /32 but not point it to a null route. 
The customer /32 still have to work. With the annoucement of the /32 i can signal my upstream to discard all traffic outside my country or ouside a 1000km radius.

Job gave a nice presentation on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ahdxp_btHY
