Oh, sorry, I was reading the wrong part of the man page. It looks like you *can* specify which config file to check, but in a different way: configure check ["config file"] Read and parse given config file, but do not use it. useful for checking syntactic and some semantic validity of an config file. So you'd want something like "configure check ${CONF_FILE}" I guess. That way if you ever have two instances of bird running, reloading the second instance won't check the config file for the first instance. And "-r" was a good idea.
