I think the local IP would be the IP of the outgoing interface. But it would 
not be difficult to set the local IP of the tunnel to the originator IP of the 
node. If this is necessary for kernel-2.4, I can create a patch for it.

At the moment there is only one "gateway_handler", which always selects the 
nearest gateway (and change only when it goes away). But plugins can register 
other gateway handlers (similar to the lq_plugin system) to change the gateway 
selection behaviour.
