Hello

Routes in table 255 have special type (RTN_LOCAL, RTN_BROADCAST ...) and
these route types are unsupported by BIRD.

You could import them as unreachable routes by compiling BIRD with attached patch.

Also note that routes with 'proto kernel' are ignored, byt that is
probably not relevant to your case, just to other routes in table 255.
