Is there any way in FRR to make routes depend on the state of a VRRP instance? I have an issue where I can't bind static routes to the VRRP interface, because they get jammed in 'inactive' state, but I have a pair of routers acting as the gateway to a network (where I can't run a dynamic routing protocol or BFD). That other network has a static route to me pointing at the VIP, but I have no way to influence the OSPF routes I send to the rest of my network based on the VRRP state. If I leave everything ECMP then half the time I'll get to the router that's the VRRP backup and the traffic blackholes because it's asymmetrical and the firewalls chuck it away. If I weight things so that the path through the VRRP primary is preferred, everything breaks if the VRRP fails over, which defeats the purpose. On appliance routers (Cisco, Junper, whatever) it's standard to be able to use object tracking to withdraw routes if the VRRP is in backup state. Is there any way to do this with FRR?
