Hi BIRD does not support mixed next hops on netlink. It would be simple to implement that, but i think that Linux kernel does not (yet) support such routes anyway. At least i failed to setup such routes using 'ip' tool. Could you (or anybody) get such routes to work in Linux? -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santi...@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."
