Yes, about 5 nodes can see the NEW and OLD GW directly, but chooses
OLD as default route. All other behind obviously get that too through
hops via those 5.

It has been ipkg removed.

Yes, probably.

OLD's default route is now NEW, since I turned WAN off. If WAN is on,
but I don't want it to share internet, instead just to use it's default
route for itself, is this possible? ff_policyrt, as an alternative to 
dyn_gw, still announces the route via hna4. So it seems the only way
is not to have WAN default route at all?
