Umm, why should a p4200 have to cover for a defective non-routing
oddgw?  I realize it would be nice if it did, but I think that the
oddgw should participate in some sort of routing protocol, which
could then be used.  I can see you wanting to set the static route
in the p4200, and having everthing else pick up on that from there,
but it seems counter-productive to accomodate broken (ie non-routing)
gateways.  Perhaps it is more expedient to get proteon to hack
up routing again, since they are more responsive than oddgw, but
perhaps one should get oddgw to be repaired.
