Linux 'local' table (255) import into BIRD?

[Jan Matejka]

Hello!

If you want to export these routes via OSPF3, it should be enough to add
the interfaces as stub:

interface "eth5" { stub; }

where "eth5" is the interface that creates the route you need to export
via OSPF3.

(Writing without looking into doc, the syntax may be slightly different.)
