Hello, I don't know, if this is a bug, but I can recognize a strange thing. Im setting up a redundant pair of routers and run some tests with carp for the failover on the lan side. Because of the bug refreshing the kernel routing table when changing carp-state I use ifstated with an route delete / route add statement. You can read more about this here:
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=118368434807925&w=2 Everything works fine and I want to optimize my config. I tried to use "route change" instead of "route delete + route add". But when I was running tests on the failover (disabling the link on switch side) a strange thing happened: my bgp session to the rest of the world died.

Isn't route change the smartest way to configure the routing in my case? Or is there a bug in OpenBGPd or the kernel routing table update code? Regards, Falk
