Hi

This adds a new feature to ospfd: depend on interface.

A ospfd.conf using it looks like this:

--%<--
redistribute default depend on carp0
area 0.0.0.0 {
        interface em2 { depend on carp0 }
        [...]
}
--%<--

This router would send out the default route and the em2 network with
default metrics as long as carp0 is master. When carp0 becomes backup these
routes are advertised with metric 65535.

"depend on" can also be used with other interface types than carp.

This diff was started by benno@ at p2k17 (redistribute and config parser).
I added the interface part. jca@ contributed several improvements.

Comments, OKs?

Remi

If I understand this right, someone could use this combined with pfsync,
to wait for states full sync before switching routes from backup to master?

nice :)
