But is that really useful? Having a HNA on nodes connected to the
subnet means that you are not running OLSR in the subnet. So then you
probably have a static route just to one of this nodes connected to
the subnet (acting as a gateway). So if this nodes fails then having
another node does not really help.

It would help for load-balancing but then if one node fails you would
have just 50 % packet loss (if you have two nodes connected to the
subnet).

Or am I missing something? Any other use case?
