Now looked at the source, and I do not think there is a way. It might be useful to add one, though - and might be not too hard - perhaps something like this (didn't test): https://gerrit.ovirt.org/89528 That said, I think it's about time we change the text(s) to imply that we use this gateway to test network connectivity with ping, so do not really need to be a gateway, but do need to reliably reply to pings, and if we do have places where we use it as a gateway, we should simply ask two questions, or at least allow overriding in the config file.
