[j-nsp] cspf to secondary loopback

Another option to consider is defining the LSP and setting the install
option:

label-switched-path my-lsp {
    to <primary loopback on remote router>;
    install <secondary loopback on remote router>/32;
    }

This causes the secondary address to be injected into inet.3 and thus
any  BGP prefix advertised from the remote router with its secondary
loopback address as a nexthop will cause traffic to that prefix to
follow the appropriate LSP.  This allows you to utilize whatever cspf
features you might require without any difficulty.

thats how Armin solved it, but you obviously loose options

that's an interesting one; I think whats not working here anymore is
that you can do TE on the BGP-nexthop basis, i.e. send all traffic for
BGP routes which have nexthop xyz into LSP A and for nexthop abc into
LSP B (which would work with the first solution).
