All protocols restarting on configure soft

[Stephen Holmes]

BIRD Masters,

BIRD 1.2.5

I recently updated my route server configuration to include a new set of BGP export filters when one peer wants to exclude routes to another peer.  The filter is only applied to those selecting to exclude one another.

When I pushed the new config with only two BGP sessions having the added filers, the rest untouched, and two new pipes were added, BIRD restarted all PIPE/BGP sessions after a 'configure soft'.  Is this the expected behavior?

Without export filter:

protocol bgp RXXXXX {
  local as myas;
  neighbor xx.xx.xx.xx as XXXXX;
  import filter bgp_in_ASXXXXX;
  export all;
  route limit 500;
  table TXXXXX;
  rs client;
  start delay time 30;
}

With export filter:

protocol bgp RYYYY {
  debug { filters };
  local as myas;
  neighbor yy.yy.yy.yy as YYYY;
  import filter bgp_in_ASYYYY;
  export filter bgp_out_ASYYYY;
  route limit 1000;
  table TYYYY;
  rs client;
  start delay time 30;
}

Much Appreciated,

Stephen
