No. Suppose that I have routes that I don't want to export, and put a
metric of 17.
Then if I receive this route via an announcement in rip, it will be
deleted (or something similar)...

This could be done via 2 files:

1) routes that we don't want to be processed by rip98d.
   For example 4.133.128.0/27, wich is an internal subnet
   that is here for doing some local test, and I don't want to
    propagate it.

2) subnets that we don't want to be processed by rip98d. 
    Any route matching this subnet will not be processed.
    For example: I don't want to announce any route to France:
    44.134.0.0/16

    So 44.134.1.0/24 will not be processed.


The problem with that is that you start doing complicated things...
