in a typical case, if ping interval is, say, 10 seconds, and fr_timer, say 3 seconds, i fail to see any big advantage in pinging the gws provided that if fr_timer fires, there is a possibility to mark the gw as being dead.
True, but note that default fr_timer is 30 seconds :)
when i forward a request to a gw, i set fr_timer to 3 sec.
i'll try to implement this as an alternative/complement for the pinging for the next release.
That's great, thanks a lot.
how about waking a gw up from death? there could be a timestamp telling when a gw died and then a module parameter telling how long to wait before the gw is tried again. that way there would be no need for a timer process.
