New in BIRD

[Ilias Pallikarakis]

Hi,
I figured out that my problem was simply not configuring BIRD for 
multihop neighbour.
I have, however, another question if someone would care to answer. From my
search so far I came to the conclusion that in BIRD you cannot mrtdump 
to more
than one file (per process) and that it is still not possible to 
periodically dump a
table. Is that correct ?

Thank you for your help,

Ilias Pallikarakis
