Feature request: can bird please made to log a warning in this scenario, something like "WARN: Ignoring blah because neigbor not in a directly connected subnet blah, so not going to listen on 179 blah?"
Well, the BGP protocol is not ignored in this case, just its initialization is postponed until such subnet appears. This could be completely OK situation, like if BIRD is started before network interfaces are initialized. And with 'debug { events }', there is a log message: "Waiting for XXXX to become my neighbor" -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'SanTiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
