Two similar kernel routes with different metrics on bird 1.6.4
Hi all. I have two default kernel routes with different metrics (for failover, when first gateway becomes unreachable - all traffic is switched to second gw). I want to pipe it to other kernel table to gracefully handle connections to second IP. Unfortunatelly, I can't force bird to learn route with higher metric - bird just ignores it. Option 'merge paths' does nothing in that case. Import filter doesn't help - it seems like route is dropped somewhere in protocol, before passing to filter. How can I force bird to learn route with higher metric?

Hi That is unfortunately not supported. Only one route per network can be imported. -- 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."
