BIRD Setup for B.A.T.M.A.N. Advanced network.

[Maurice Smulders]

Network description (simplest form)
Two internet gateways
GW1: 192.168.30.1/24, DHCP Range 192.168.30.10 ... 192.168.30.39
GW2: 192.168.30.2/24, DHCP Range 192.168.30.40... 192.168.30.70

Both GWs are connected to internet, and are running DNSMasq

Client: does a DHCP Request, happens to get 192.168.30.56 , so from GW2

Failure scenarios
- GW2 goes down fully
- Upstream internet link to GW2 is severed

Can BIRD be used to deal with this, i.e. for example have a script /
bird ping some known Internet DNS servers, like Google's 8.8.8.8 and
8.8.4.4 and force the client to switch over to GW1 to get a valid
internet connection again as fast as possible?

For simplicity, I'm looking at RIPv2 - network is small enough, or
should I use OSPF?

I'm looking for some suggestions/recommendations...
