Are you sure "redistribute if X metrix Y" is what you want to use? And not
"out if X metric Y"?

With the former, for each installed route pointing to interface X, you
will redistribute it.  If you have a high number of neighbours, interfaces
and routes, this will probably generate a lot of routes (in the worst
case, each router will redistribute all routes)

I might be wrong, this would mean that babeld blows up because of the
large number of routes.  I'm not sure how many routes it would take, but
probably a lot.  Could you provide the output of the local interface?
("nc ::1 33123" on the router when it is about to blow up)


Or could it be a bad interaction with the source-specific babel you have
on your network?
