blackhole route is generally used to mitigate DoS attacks, DoS Protection Feature in XG can help here.

you can enable DoS from System > System Services > DoS & Spoof Protection

No we use it for OSPF and BGP! Its important to prevent route loops!

Just to echo this. Blackhole routes are an important tool in networking and are NOT limited to DoS mitigation.
