You could try that and see what sort of impact it has (frankly I don't know but
I don't see how could it be so bad)

No, I don't think it is a good idea since you mobile nodes will be *invisible*
for the nodes on the LAN. I guess it would be more dangerous than the first
solution.

I don't understand why should hierarchical routing be used? Is this part of the
wireless stuff? or is it a personnal choice? Anyways both use a RouteLogic so
you want all your nodes to appear in that, otherwise there won't be routes to
some nodes.
