I am happy to implement BK’s suggestion to limit the
setting up of gateway endpoints that fall within the 44/8 range to co-ordinators.
I am also happy to go through and remove any currently
empty/incomplete gateways. Perhaps I could also setup a cronjob that purge such entries on
a regular basis, e.g. any that are over a week old with no subnets?
I can implement the above fairly quickly if that is
what is wanted?
I would certainly appreciate that.
Even better would be to implement the addition of a new property 'advanced user'
(initially copied from 'co-ordinator' and settable by you and Brian) and also the
re-introduction of checking the subnets being routed by the gateway, depending on that
property.
But even with only the changes mentioned above we should have some improvement in
reliability.
Brian: I also wonder if the return if ICMP unreachable messages on RIP broadcasts is
somehow logged or stored in a form that allows gateways that have done this for extended
periods of time to be automatically disabled or deleted.
