Of those who have used Quagga or Bird, or anything else, would either of them be appropriate and/or well suited for use as an iBGP blackhole route server?

You can use Quagga or Bird as a blackhole BGP injector, because the forwarding load is next to nothing and the number of prefixes in your blackhole RIB is likely to be small. You might - if you programatically get the blackhole criteria from your crm or some other database find ExaBGP to be easier to integrate with your data source. ExaBGP is a very lightweight BGP speaker that is perfectly suited for this purpose - http://code.google.com/p/exabgp/ Andy
