So you receive route from eth1, change its next hop to 192.168.0.50 and
announce to eth0? BIRD checks (for single hop eBGP) whether route was
received on the same iface as it is send, but that is done before export
filter. Did you modify the next hop in the export filter of outgoing BGP
or in the import filter of incoming BGP? Did you really modify it? (You
could check that by print in export filter.) How exactly looks your
filter?
