Everyone happy with this? Any comments?
It would be nice if the mail had some info about what a gateway is and why you
(don't) want it,
e.g. with a pointer to the wiki page.
I have found that some people add a gateway entry because they think this is some form of
registration
of their existing (not IPIP mesh) router e.g. connected via radio or via one of the other
VPN types
we support. They think it would be useful to be registered in some list. That is how
the problematic
gateway came into existance, and there are several others like that registered in the
Netherlands,
that did not become problematic only because they had no subnets.
When being listed is what they actually want, of course they should not register a
gateway. But it is what
they do, partly because there is a lack of higher-level explanation of concepts. And
after receiving
that mail message they probably still don't understand what they are doing wrong.
Maybe a pointer to HamnetDB could be useful. Registering there is probably what they
want.
