BGP with wrong netmask on wan interface

Hi,

I have some mobile routers (connected over LTE) and with openvpn.

Over the openvpn we are running a BGP to allow distribute some routes and export routes.

Some of the routers are having wrong netmask (255.0.0.0 instead of 255.255.255.252).
This seems to work (ie internet are working, and the openvpn connection is established).

But when we are trying to get the BGP connection up, it tries to send the BGP connection over the WAN istead of openvpn connection.
I guess that I have made some mistake in the config.
It should take smaller path before matching the larger..


WAN (Mobile): 10.6.90.187 / 255.0.0.0
OpenVPN interface (tap0):  10.9.140.33 / 255.255.252.0

Bird config:

template bgp RR_LTE {
        debug all;                                  # debug BGP
        description "BIRD RR";
        local as 1;                                 # the AS used by the local BGP speaker
        direct;
        gateway direct;
        import filter import_ATM;                                 # just accept everything
        export filter export_ATM;                                 # and advertise it to all the neigbors
        connect retry time 10;                      # reconnect try after 10s
        hold time 240;                               # hold time send in BGP messages
}

protocol bgp BGP1 from RR_LTE { neighbor 10.9.140.1 as 1; preference 140;};
