Using Bubba|Two as LAN only server - disabling WAN

Using Bubba|Two as a LAN only server, not connecting the WAN port, demands that you use DHCP to configure the LAN IP adress.

Manually configuring the LAN IP address, do not allow manually configuring the gateway and DNS server, making it impossible to use filedownload, webmail or even the update service. When using an externally DHCP server placed on the LAN to supply IP addresses, the gateway and DNS server are correctly set up (via the DHCP options), and the mentioned services works fine.

I would be nice if it was possible to make a "disables" selection on the WAN interface, and then make it possible to supply gateway and DNS server on the LAN interface - the entry fields are already on the LAN settings page, just grayed out and used for information only.

We are currently working in the interface to allow such configuration.
