I generally prefer to keep the Null0 even if there's a static or (IGP) non-static as a matter of best-practice.

If your IGP burbles, then the rest of the Internet won't, leading to faster recovery times.

Statics are inherently less prone to this, but having the Null0 pin-up doesn't hurt anything and it makes your configuration more homogeneous knowing that anything you're advertising should be in the routing table no matter what. Easier to trouble-shoot, spot errors, etc.

That second part has bit me in the rear before..... As a matter of course
now I always make a static route to null 0 for every prefix I announce via
BGP.  Once I verify that an IGP or static route is covering that prefix, I
remove the null route.... or not if you have several more specific routes.

Firstly, please don't use distribute lists. This is very archaic and
prone to mistakes. Suggest you migrate to prefix lists right away!



That changed the broadcast cogent was receiving, but not in the expected
way. They only route they saw us broadcasting after that was the
216.24.60.0/23 route. Not the first one in the list, not the last one,
not the biggest one or the smallest one, but just one route from the middle
of the list. I don't get this behavior at all. Cogent cleared and bounced
bgp to us, and still received only that one route in the broadcast from us.

After you've fixed your filtering with prefix lists, you need to ensure
that any "network..." statement is backed up by the presence of the very
same route in your IGP (which includes static routing).
