Have a look at

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=452717+0+current/freebsd-net

This is a nice summary of the different possibilities. And indicates,
if I read it roght, that there *is* indeed a problem.

My case is Quagga bgpd talking to several JunOS routers, only a single
TCP session (with MD5) to each router. This works just fine.

I have never attempted BGP with MD5 between two FreeBSD boxes.
