I have a question concerning routes and ospf.
We are using iked(8) with a gif(4) interface and ospfd(8) to set up=20
routing.

If the ipsec tunnel is down, no ospf route is set and the default route=20
used.

Is it sensible and possible to add a null-route from the vpn-gateway to=20
the remote-networks so a 'Network not reachable' is sent immediately?

Sensible - yes.

Possible - not sure but I think you would probably need to monitor the ipsec
status and add the route and/or gif interface only once the SA is up.

I may be missing something, but maybe just add a -reject route with
a low -priority for each of your ospf routes?  When an ospf route
disappears the -reject one would be preferred.

(And if all your "vpn" routes are in a common prefix, you can just use
a single -reject route for that prefix and let more-specifics win.)

something like this was actually my plan. just wasn't so sure if one actually does it like this or if there are other ways of doing it.

so basically a
route add -inet 172.16/12 -reject -priority 33
would suffice (33 as the ospf routes have a prio of 32)
