Default route not picked up by OSPF?

[Grzegorz Nosek]

Hi,

I'm using bird to autoconfigure networking between a bunch of VMs 
running on a bunch of hosts. It basically looks like:

- OSPF on every host (connecting host<->VMs)
- OpenVPN in tap mode across all hosts
- BGP running over that VPN

The net result is that I have all VM private addresses propagated 
everywhere.

It generally works fine except during host startup, where I regularly 
end up with VMs lacking the default route (which should have been 
supplied via OSPF).

`birdc reload my_ospf` from the host makes the routes appear on the VMs, 
so I believe bird is configured correctly (i.e. it's only a transient 
issue, the routes aren't filtered out).

The hosts have static default routes.

OS is Ubuntu 12.04, using bird from the PPA (1.4.x).

Is this a known issue (e.g. with daemon start order or whatever)? Any 
hints? I wish I had more diagnostics but like I said, it happens early 
in the boot process.

Best regards,
