when i forward a request to a gw, i set fr_timer to 3 sec.
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.

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 :) i'll try
to implement this as an alternative/complement for the pinging
for the next release.
That's great, thanks a lot.
