It can be made to work, just really really stupid.

Ultimately the 'gateway' is really a mac address, and the IP is just the thing to ARP to get the mac address. And you can do some gnarly things to pull off things like off-subnet gateway addresses.

You should never ever do it, but you can if you hate yourself enough.

Becomes easier in IPv6 to do these shenigans too.
