[j-nsp] route into inactive state

[Joseph Soricelli]

If you want the BGP route to be in the table but not active you will  
need that same route in inet.0 from a different protocol with a lower  
protocol preference.

I'm trying to get a better idea of the ultimate goal here. I'm  
assuming that you are not in the forwarding path for the routes in  
question and that the advertised BGP routes will have traffic flowing  
across different routers in the network. If these assumptions are  
correct (and you know what happens when you assume!!) then you could  
add a static route to discard which will be active in inet.0 and make  
the bgp routes inactive.
