Hey Dan,

Thanks for the reply, I'll check out the routing table. For now I have
a script running in the background every couple of minutes pinging a
DNS server and overwriting the olsrd file based on the result. I'll
loose any changes I make to the olsrd in the commotion interface but I
can live with that for now. I also found /usr/sbin/ff_olsrd_test_gw.sh
which is helpful in understanding the gateway test.

Regards,
Aidan
