Well, there is already a param "pin_interval" to set the... ping interval. But 
for now ifyou set a value less than 180 then it is set to 180.
IMHO it makes no sense having both parameters:
- ping_interval = 100
- max_ping_interval = 80
XD

That's already done by "load_gws()" function. It only loads gws marked as 
active.
What I mean is that setting online/offline is done when the ping 
successes/fails, and it would be nice to set a gw as "offline" manually after 
failure_route and so (without the need of waiting the ping action to be 
executed, which could take many seconds yet).
