Yes. Here are details.

Would using "real broadcast yes;" cause BIRD to send HELLO out all
interfaces? The interfaces are on separate sub-networks; this would
not work but I am curious.
When I set one of the interfaces as the default route, BIRD can form
a full adjacency with the Cisco router on that side but not on the
other. I can see the HELLO packets leaving BIRD by that interface. I
can change the default route to the other interface and then see HELLO
leaving that interface.
We plan to connect four Cisco routers to BIRD; each router will have a
simulated remote site behind it.
I am learning a lot as I research this problem. This is good but I
need a solution. :-)
Is there some FreeBSD setting which enables multicast to work properly?
Does BIRD send HELLO out each interface individually?
