Description

/etc/inc.system.php defines a boolean $multiwan and uses that to decide whether to display the dropdown selection box to choose a gateway for each of the DNS Server IPs. But $multiwan == true if there are 1 or more gateways on the system. So all the gateway selection dropdown is displayed even on systems with only 1 gateway (WAN).
I suspect that people are quite used to this by now, and actually it is not a problem on 1 WAN systems, allowing the user to choose WAN_GW rather than the default route - it does not make any difference!
I guess that on a system without any gateways (just being used as a router in a local private network, the dropdown will not be displayed, because there are 0 gateways. That is correct.
If I fix this, then there might be people with 1 WAN systems who have selected WAN_GW. They won't be able to see that selection any more. If they change their system around in future then it could cause a problem because they will not be able to see that setting from the GUI.
Is this something to fix, or not?
