Hi,
I'm using bird to autoconfigure networking between a bunch of VMs
running on a bunch of hosts. It basically looks like:
- OSPF on every host (connecting host<->VMs)
- OpenVPN in tap mode across all hosts
- BGP running over that VPN
The net result is that I have all VM private addresses propagated
everywhere.
It generally works fine except during host startup, where I regularly
end up with VMs lacking the default route (which should have been
supplied via OSPF).
`birdc reload my_ospf` from the host makes the routes appear on the VMs,
so I believe bird is configured correctly (i.e. it's only a transient
issue, the routes aren't filtered out).
The hosts have static default routes.
OS is Ubuntu 12.04, using bird from the PPA (1.4.x).
Is this a known issue (e.g. with daemon start order or whatever)? Any
hints? I wish I had more diagnostics but like I said, it happens early
in the boot process.
Best regards,
Grzegorz Nosek
