Thanks Marko,
Got it. I just always advertised in the networks as directly connected to the 
router.
The part about it being an ACL though, could i ever make a mistake by just 
doing that, i.e. advertising the networks, how could i possibly advertise in to 
much if those are my directly connected interfaces? I can't have overlapping 
interfaces?
I know understand that you can also just advertise in a /32 interface address 
instead, but which method is better ?
