hmm I thought I had a TRAC ticket on this but I cannot find it anymore...
I recall some  minor annoyances all having to do with needing to 
explictly add a gateway for the server-side routes. I'm 99.9% confident 
that Arne's one-liner will have fixed them.

With those annoyances gone I'd even be in favor of making 'topology 
subnet' the default for the 2.4 release :)

cheers,
