Fellow birdwatchers, We're running a set of resolvers here using an anycast setup. We currently do this on FreeBSD using openbsd's bgpd. Bgpd is started with a bare config defining the local as, the neighbor and its as. After starting up our DNS servers on a local dummy0 interface, and we're confident that they work, we're using bgpctl (openbgp's CLI) to announce one or more prefixes. So far I have a working setup, but I'm not completely satisfied: log syslog {info, warning, error, fatal, debug, trace, remote, auth}; log "/var/log/bird.log" all; router id 192.168.1.1; listen bgp address 192.168.1.1 port 179; protocol kernel { persist; # Don't remove routes on BIRD shutdown scan time 20; # Scan kernel routing table every 20 seconds } protocol device { scan time 10; # Scan interfaces every 10 seconds } # only guesswork here: I'm presuming this scans all dummy interfaces, and looks what is up and configured? protocol direct { interface "dummy*"; } protocol bgp { debug all; local as 65516; neighbor 192.168.1.2 as 3265; source address 192.168.1.1; # again: guesswork, does this announce all 'protocol direct' stuff? export all; } My preference would be to explicitly list the prefixes that I want to announce, not having to rely on what I'm really configuring on my linux dummy interface. Is that coming, or did I misinterpret the docs? I'd love to setup a v4 and a v6 bgp session with 1 daemon, since my DNS software is fine with it. Do I understand it correctly that this currently isn't possible? Regards, Kai
