all nodes in a MAP domain must have the same rules.
in 1:1 mode there is only the CE and the BR in the domain.

having an aggregate route e.g. an IPv4 /24 or a host route a /32 doesn't mean 
you need a different RIB implementation.
a host route which is what we have in 1:1 mode is just a corner case. what is 
"completely different" about it?

cheers,
Ole
