        Yeah, this is a solution. Unfortunately the .ro domains with direct
connection are not that many. Of course, I can do this for a number of
domains but not for all.

        We use dynamic routing protocols and routes are announced and withdrawn all
tha time so adding them to acl dst is not acceptable.
Oh, well ...

Thanx for the answer though.
