It doesn't really make sense to put another gateway in the portal, as I doubt the rip packets will pass though.
The AMPRNet internal RIP packets from 'amprgw' are sent encapsulated, so if you can do IP-IP tunnels at all, the RIP should get through too.
One way to see whether a firewall will pass IP-IP tunnels is to add its address as a gateway and see if you get tunnel traffic on the other side. Since the internal RIP is sent every 5 minutes, it can be a simple test of your incoming connectivity. - Brian
