Best method to advertise BGP from ClusterXL VIP?

I have a clusterxl interface setup between 2 gateways.

I have a /30 to advertise (yes, I know. Small for BGP but this is the ISPs requirement).

After arguing with a vendor and doing a bunch of reading, the docs lead me to believe ClusterXL will support BGP just fine.

What is my best option to advertise the /30 from the cluster? 

Since it's a /30 (only allowing 2 ips), I established an interface VIP with 72.131.248.249/30 between members on a private subnet - 172.17.1.5 and 172.17.1.6.

Redistribute interface seems to work perfectly, but I'm unable to filter out the 172.17.x.x on the CP side.

Should I be setting up a static route for 72.131.248.249/30 with an interface gateway only and redistribute that?

Or a NAT pool?

Both of the last two options seemingly don't work for me. BGP is established but the route is not pushed.

 

cp-gw-1> show bgp peer 172.17.0.1 adj-rib-out

 

... shows routes when "Interface" is selected, but not when a static route or NAT pool is used for redistribution in Gaia.
