You must have the networks connected (on the public side), but when using
IPSec your gif tunnel won't really be used. It is just sort of a
"placeholder"
to get the routing correct. I am using a similar setup to your's (FreeBSD
talking IPSec with a Cisco router) using the GIF tunnel pointing to a bogus
remote address. You could essentialy achieve the same without GIF using
static ARP entries, claiming that the MAC address of your machine's default
gateway has the tunnel destination IP.
