[j-nsp] l3vpn BGP advertisements

[juniper-nsp at nurk.org]

Hello,

I've created a VRF between 2 M20's. I currently have a policy that distributes 
static and direct routes. The issue I'm having is junos doesn't seem to 
advertise the route directly connected to an fe port. If I add a loopback 
interface to the VRF it will advertise it's route though. I've tried adding a 
static route to the fe interface, but junos complains about it not being a p2p 
address. Is it possible to have a VRF hang off an interface w/o a CE router on 
the other end?

As you can see below, junos shows the route as "Direct" for both loopback and 
fe, but does not advertise the fe route...
