I was going over the “Network configuration” page on the wiki and it’s a little 
thin on routes.  In particular, it implies that for a route you always need 
interface/target/netmask/gateway… but in the case of type=blackhole, a gateway 
doesn’t really seem applicable.

So would you have:

config route
        option interface ‘lan’
        option target ‘192.168.1.99’
        option netmask ‘255.255.255.255’
        option type ‘blackhole'


instead?  For that matter, do you really even need the “interface” part?

Who owns that wiki page?  I was trying to figure that out using the wiki itself 
but couldn’t figure out how.

P.S. One unrelated subject… how would you configure a “dummy” interface that 
would never be used to send or receive traffic (obviously) but that you want to 
assign an address to, so that you can source ICMP packets from it or have an 
application bind to it’s address so that the packets come from that address 
(instead of the address of an actual interface)…
