Yup that's it. I got the same thing testing with a straight (no ipsec) gif
tunnel too. Are you running this in a "production" environment or just
playing with it? Has it proven reliable with the static arp entry? I was
pleasantly surprised to find that I didn't have any PMTUD problems today
(with ipsec up) like I did with PPTP.
