You would only need to install an exact copy of all the routers which
have unseen set.
Remove the unseen line
change the transport to redirect
add
allow_balckhole
data = :blackhole:

Thats it no messy and{} or{} anything, you just have to remember when
making changes to do it to both routers, or better make all the
conditions dependent on the same external file

There may be a better way of doing this with transports, but you
would have to post your routers for me to help more
