No, that is unnecessary. Whenever the batman gateway receives packets for the 
internet it simply adds them to the routing queue. The kernel itself will 
handle further routing.

Not really unless you want to get a connection to a distinct node other than 
the internet gateway. Remember: you also need a route back if you do so.

DNS handling is not part of batman. You need to set appropriate DNS entries on 
the clients.

Sure, no problem. Let us know whether it solves your problem or not.
