I am not sure I understand this - care to elaborate?

Good on all counts as far as I can see.

The fictitious interface name in "providers" is fixed as well, though 
when I add "lo" (loopback) (loopback is in a state of "ignore" in my 
"interfaces" - just FYI) I get a few funnies generated which should not 
be there, like:

run_ip route replace <default gateway address> src $SW_LO_ADDRESS dev lo
run_ip route replace <default gateway address> src $SW_LO_ADDRESS dev lo 
table XX
run_ip route add default via <default gateway address> src 
$SW_LO_ADDRESS dev lo table XX

Would there be a way for me to manipulate the blackhole routes in my 
main table or is this for another day?
