Seems it works fine if you just leave out the 'text' portion (and fix
the 'identifier' which should be 'cluster-id').

Now, it seems that bgp might not be using fea, and if so, then I'm
going to need to hack on it's socket code to bind to a specific
device (SO_BINDTODEVICE) for my application.

To do this right, I guess I'd need to change the config to have
a local port-name instead of local-ip for peers, and a local port-name
argument to the main bgp block for binding the bgp-id address?

Anyone have any suggestions on better ways to do this?

Thanks,
Ben
