The draft also considers another option that is called site exit discovery.

In this case, the routers inform the hosts about the appropriate site exit
through which the host has to send the packet so that it can reach the
selected destination with the selected source address.

The host then tunnels the packet through the proper exit router.

This would be more like source routing rather than source address based
routing, and this solution honors the source address selection performed by
the host (it shouldn't have the problems of the other case)
