Yeah... but could I not simply tell my system that the gateway is off on 
some other network? Or maybe just with a different CIDR? Given the number 
of customers they must have, wasting all those IPs when there's probably 
only one gateway server for every N customers seems silly.

Hopefully not me... tain't my fault ;-)!
