How do I configure BIRD to support multiple Linux kernel routing tables?

Thank you for the suggestion.

Unfortunately I'm getting "bird: /etc/bird.conf, line 9: syntax error" 
with the following config file.

I believe the syntax is correct because if I remove protocol kernel 
default and leave the "kernel table 254" entry in protocol kernel main, 
bird -p is perfectly happy and bird will start.  BIRD version 1.6.3 
(from ~current Gentoo portage) if that helps.

protocol kernel main {
         learn;
         export all;
         import all;
         persist no;
         kernel table 254;
}

protocol kernel default {
         learn;
         export all;
         import all;
         persist no;
         kernel table 253;
}

protocol device {
}

protocol direct {
         interface "*";
}

protocol rip {
         export all;
         import all;
         interface "wgc", "test1", "test2", "test3" {
                 version 2;
         };
}
