For the ones who are interested why the system behaves a bit awkward regarding the IPv4 gateway, I have the following info:
It is caused by the fact that reverse path Filtering = on (RFC3704) These kernel settings are found in /etc/sysctl.conf: net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1 net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1 Change this to net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 0 net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 0 Reboot the system for these settings to take effect. After the reboot, the system accepts packets with a source IP outside the range of the connected lan, even without the need for the default gateway to be configured. We tested this with and it works fine.
