P2PRPL tries to do this, but you are suggesting that instead of learing it,
the root should just know it.  This goes to some of the PCE cases, I think.

Is there PCE technology we can use?

DAO-projection does not create a route that is remembered, rather it prefixes
it to a particular packet.  So you'd want node X to be able to ask the root
for such a source route?
