Hi!
I'm new to the list and new to bird, but know a little bit about bgp
and what i want:
I want to use bird as a route-server in an ixp environment. If I
configure a peer as rc client, i get a syntax-error at "rs client;".
The config command should exist according to the documentation... I
append the peer-config. Has anyone a hint?
I use Version 1.0.11-4.
thanks for your answers,
Harald
