Can bird include metrics when installing linux kernel routes?

Hi, Is there a way to make bird include a metric when installing routes into the linux routing table? I want to base the metric on the length of the BGP path (so longer path via prepending has higher metric), or failing that, a local_pref value. Regards, Mike

Hi, I'm using bird 1.4.5 with BGP and have a problem where routes seem to be lost under my setup. I find that if two BGP peers with the same routes are importing each others routes, a third BGP peer someone ends up picking neither of their routes after killing and restarting bird on one peer only
