I would have a proposal to improve that RiP mechanism
a little (if not
already done).
The moment you delete a gw in the portal, it will stay in that state a
little time to allow undelete.
During that time, it would be useful to send it out in the RIP multicasts
using a distance of 15, in RIP language meaning "unreacheable".
In that case, long route persitences can be implemented without problem,
having updates covered:
A new route means change, an metrics distance of 15 meaning it has been
deleted. All others stay unchanged.
Yes, that's a good idea.
