Hi Seth, Sorry for the delayed responses on this thread (this is a side project of mine).

(That part was unchanged when I was seeing the 5-minute timeouts.) The 5-minute timeout was an issue with the interface set to 'auto' and the DHCP configuration present in /e/n/i. I had to replace that with the post-up script which manually monitored the interface and launched (or killed) the DHCP client to get the behavior I wanted (no 5-minute timeout of the WAN interface was disconnected or didn't respond to DHCP).
