Forward full view to a downstream

Setup an EBGP multihop session off your route reflectors, assuming they 
are bird, and export all routes and import none on your session facing his 
router.

So your customer has an extra bgp session (or 2) for the full route feed. 
Your primary bgp session works as is, the multihop sessions provide the 
full route feed.

Works well. We use it so we dont have to carry full routes on the peering 
devices.

He should add static /32 routes for the ips of the route 
servers (again, could be your rr, or just any vm that has a full feed) 
pointing to his transit (i.e. to you).
