Yep - Going to distribute it to ~200 Machines in the next Months.

I think all routing daemons could as long as "local" or "direct" 
interfaces are not "known" to the routing process itself.

The problem was i think that Bird failed to add routes to the routing
table as the local ethernet was gone. Somewhere there in the "kernel"
protocol could be a tight loop retrying to add routes.
