That's great! If you share that solution, perhaps we can document it as a workaround.
I would _far_ rather FRR had <capability> like mainstream appliance routers do
Many such cases! 😊 Quentin

Thanks Quentin,
As of about five minutes ago I've solved this with a bash script called by networkd-dispatcher that adds and removes the routes associated with a given next-hop.
Getting it to behave safely was a bit of work but it does the job I need it to do and it's more than fast enough.
I would _far_ rather FRR had proper object tracking capability like mainstream appliance routers do so it could all be captured in the config file, but this works.

Hi,
Unfortunately, there is no way I know of to do this at present. FRR supports calling arbitrary Lua scripts at predetermined points in protocol logic, and introducing such a point into vrrpd at an appropriate spot would allow a user script to implement object tracking. Indeed that was one of the motivating use cases for the Lua feature. However, the right combination of interested parties and programmers to make it happen ultimately never occurred.
In short, the necessary components are in place, but the wiring and 20% needs to be done. It would be a fantastic summer project for someone interested in contributing to vrrpd.
