This can work in BIRD? 
I thougt you do NEED a separate "process" (or protocol instance) for each BGP peer.

Anyway I'll be doing some tests these days, and I'll inform you
of the results.. 

BTW - I've noticed that without a "protocol device {..." BIRD
doesn't populate its route-ing table. Is this normal?
My situation was: two static protocols, and one BGP protocol.
In the CLI "show route" didn't return anything, then I added
the "protocol device {..." stuff, the routes showed, and BIRD
started to make connections with it's BGP peer.
