On the subject of the general number of routes increasing, has everyone involved in the development or maintainence of their routers checked that the 2^16 (65536) limit is not going to hit them. I know that for those using PC routers, like my old colleagues at Demon, it is important that you make sure that your OS is upgraded to use a >16 bit int for a "reference count" to an interface. Andrew Bangs @ Demon spotted this a while back and submitted patch to the *BSD groups, of which I know OpenBSD has changed the reference count to a 32 bit. Once you add some IGP routes the 2^16 is coming up fast.
