You run your kernels with RADIX_MPATH on 9.x?
Got an example config? In openbgpd speak, I'm doing this:
AS 65xxx
router-id 8.8.178.xx
neighbor 8.8.178.yy {
local-address 8.8.178.xx
remote-as 65xxx
announce none
}
neighbor 8.8.178.zz {
local-address 8.8.178.xx
remote-as 65xxx
announce none
}
match from 8.8.178.yy set { localpref 80 }
match from 8.8.178.zz set { localpref 80 }
The upstream nodes are doing, in part:
neighbor 8.8.178.ww {
local-address 8.8.178.yy
remote-as 65xxx
announce default-route
}
neighbor 8.8.178.xx {
local-address 8.8.178.yy
remote-as 65xxx
announce default-route
}
match to 8.8.178.ww set { metric 20 }
match to 8.8.178.xx set { metric 20 }
They're doing other things too, but thats the part that's relevant here.

On IRC, talking about C++:
<BigKnife> I think that it is a good thing I will never meet Bjarne on a street
<BigKnife> cause really, I don't want to end up in prison or anything
