Temporarily announcing more specific prefix?

Hi,

I have the task to configure BIRD to be able to announce a more specific
prefix temporarily to our BGP peers.

Currently we announce a /22 and want to be able to flip a switch and
announce one /24 from that /22.

As we partition the network internally I cannot use the prefixes learned
for the BGP announcements.

Currently there is one static protocol that contains the /22 and the
export filter looks at the protocol name.

I was thinking about setting up another static protocol and enable it if
needed. But the /24 is also used internally and therefor the preferred
route in the table, even when the static protocol is enabled. This means
I cannot filter on the protocol name in the export filter. I cannot
filter on the prefix itself as it must not be exported always.

How do I achieve that?

Regards
