Hi,
Are you sending a whole pile of routes across your serial links, or
just default and possibly a couple of others?  If just default and
one or two others, it's fairly easy to do what you want.  If it's a
whole pile of routes it might be simple or impractical.

How to do it (if it's even possible) depends a lot on your specific
topology.  Send me a note if you want to discuss it more.
