Could you have your software modify an alternate kernel routing table 
that BIRD is monitoring to learn and import from?

Do you need these changes to be persistent across daemon restart or host 
reboot?  (Or does your DDoS detection / mitigation system recreate the 
routes in that case?)

Sorry, I can't speak to that.
