Hello,
Well I was hoping for something like
import filter {
if env.somevariable = 0 then reject;
accept;
};
And then somehow set somevariable via birdc....
But using symlinks sounds better than overwriting config files.
Thanks

Hello,
I do almost the same, but do not rewrite the config. I have an include
in the place I want to change to a symlinked file. I change the
symlink and reload the config. So I have my configs static, I change
only symlinks.

Hello,
Is there some way to change bird's configuration on some external event?
I would use it like this:
There are 2 routers, active and passive. Active router exports default
route for the rest of network. Passive router has exactly the same
configuration, but filters out default route. When active/passive switch
function, the new active somehow removes default route filter, the new
passive adds default route filter.
Another usage would be to change interface cost in OSPF at run-time and
thus redirecting traffic from that particular interface.
Currently I am doing it with rewritting bird's config file and reloading
configuration. Is there some better way? Like setting some variable,
which causes changes some filter conditions?
Thanks
