Idle timeout - only works for lower values, i.e. 15min doesn't work because occasional  ~5kbps traffic apparently is "qualifying" and always resets this timer even when the gateway in question isn't assigned to anything on LAN.

Enable Dial-On-Demand mode - doesn't seem to work at all, when the interface is brought down by Idle Timeout new traffic to either this interface or it's gateway doesn't do anything.

'Disable Gateway Monitoring' has no effect on either.

Are these things just outright broken or do i need to do something differently?
