Hello

BIRD Device protocol generally does not have problems with noticing new
addresses. Most likely it could be problem with BIRD OSPF protocol not
activating the interfaces / areas.

Could you also report results of 'show interfaces' and 'show ospf
interfaces' when it works and when it does not? Does help just restarting
the OSPF protocol (birdc restart ospf1)?
