Looks like you want to advertise the aggregate address, but do not want to
keep it in the routing table. I don't think that's an option because the
route to Null0 is automatically installed as a routing loop prevention
feature. Say you had also had a default route pointing out to one of the AS
400 neighbors. If your router received a packet from AS 400 for
"192.168.0.1" it would send it back to AS 400, which would send it back to
you, etc etc.
