BGP with wrong netmask on wan interface

Hi again,

I think I've got you idea. Probably bird can not do "recursive" direct
routes. For example I set up:

Linux:

9: test2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state
UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 56:0a:42:5f:b3:46 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.1.2/24 scope global test2
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

192.168.1.0/24 dev test2  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.1.2
192.168.2.0/24 dev test2  scope link

bird have (no export to kernel):

protocol static {
    route 192.168.2.0/24 via "test2";
    route 192.168.3.0/24 via 192.168.2.1;
}

And I see in bird no route for 192.168.3.0/24:

bird> show route
192.168.1.0/24     dev test2 [direct1 23:10:42] * (240)
192.168.2.0/24     dev test2 [static1 23:10:42] * (200)

If I add to Linux such device:

2: dum1: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
group default
    link/ether ee:b2:97:43:3c:79 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.100.1/16 scope global dum1
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

And bird starts to route via it:

bird> show route
192.168.0.0/16     dev dum1 [direct1 23:18:16] * (240)
192.168.1.0/24     dev test2 [direct1 23:10:41] * (240)
192.168.2.0/24     dev test2 [static1 23:10:41] * (200)
192.168.3.0/24     via 192.168.2.1 on dum1 [static1 23:18:16] * (200)
