according to below URl, multihop BFD for static route is not supported on MX if there are more than one next hop.

| Bidirectional Forwarding Detection for Static Routes |
| The Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protocol is a simple hello mechanism that detects failures in a network. BFD works with a wide variety of network environments and topologies. A pair of routing devices exchanges BFD packets. Hello packets are sent at a specified, regular interval. |

after specifying 'local-address' and 'neighbor', the neighbor address remains to be the directly connected interface from neighbor.
however, even with only one next hop, the BFD session remains down.
from trace option, i see it does not even try to initiate the BFD session.
how if supported can MX use multihop BFD for static route?
