No `hostname` within `protocol`?

[Jana Babovakova]

Hi Bernd.

Yes, you're right. BIRD does not currently support setting the hostname 
at the protocol level, only at the global level.

But as this is a trivial and useful feature request, we will implement it.
You can expect this option in a new BIRD release in the near future.

Have fun!
