Description

To be able to more properly control traffic flow, adding "prepend-neighbor" and "prepend-self" to the list of options would really help.
This allows for bgp to add extra hops when presenting a route to specified neighbor and also add extra hops in the local routing table.
This works today, but you need to write it manually into the config file, rendering the gui unusable:

neighbor 10.11.3.37 {
        descr "<DESCRIPTION>" 
    remote-as 64600 
    local-address 10.11.3.38 
    set prepend-neighbor 1
    set prepend-self 1
}

Currently running OpenBGPd package 0.5.6 on pfSense 2.0.2 Release amd64.
