Hello,
bird installs routes in kernel table without any source address, so for all connections initiated at that machine kernel chooses address from interface.
I'm looking for a sane way to get routes installed with specific source address - basically an equivalent of "ip r a x.y.z.q/prefix via nexthop dev ethX src MYIP" command.
I don't see such functionality in bird (so consider this to be a feature request).
That is definitely a good idea. The question is what other kernel route attributes are worth setting from BIRD? i found source, realms/flows, perhaps priority, not sure about others (there are not many resources about that).
