Hello!

No -- except for unusual situations, "learn" is probably not what you
expect. Also, it works only on some OS's since on most of them it's
impossible to determine which routes are installed by BIRD and which
ones by the user.

The documentation explicitly says:

| <sect>Direct
| 
| <p>The Direct protocol is a simple generator of device routes for all the
| directly connected networks according to the list of interfaces provided
| by the kernel via the Device protocol.
| 
| <p>It's highly recommended to include this protocol in your configuration
| unless you want to use BIRD as a route server or a route reflector, that is
| on a machine which doesn't forward packets itself and only participates in
| distribution of routing information.

Also, both Device and Direct are shown in the example configuration.

				Have a nice fortnight
