What do you think about OVN NB db integration for this?  I see in the
code how the gateways are treated like logical ports with special names.
 Is that all that's needed?  It might be helpful to me at least to run
through some examples of how this would be used.

That seems fine to me.  Having to specify the OVN_SB db location doesn't
seem like much of a burden.
