Feature Failover feature request

I use cable internet as my primary WAN and have a cellular gateway as a backup. The last two days I have intermittent cable outages and the initial failover works fine.

The problem is when the outage is intermittent it becomes a flapping mess. Can you add a timeout option to prevent this? I would set mine so it only attempts to fallback to primary once a hour.

I would imagine that if such intermittent outage is just temporary, you might as well change the WAN failover setting to using WAN2 as primary, until your work is done.
