The man pages of if_tun are out-of-date in some respects, but with
comments from the group and reading the sources of ppp, I have worked
around most of the problems I've found.  However, I'm stuck with one
quandry.  My tunnel setup process produces the following:

tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet6 fe80::214:22ff:fede:f175%tun0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 
        inet 192.168.12.2 --> 192.168.22.1 netmask 0xffffffff 
        Opened by PID 86506

but then I ask:

[3:14:314]dgilbert@canoe:~/devel/failsafe> route get 192.168.22.1
   route to: 192.168.22.1
destination: default
       mask: default
    gateway: strike1
  interface: bge0

and indeed:

[3:15:315]dgilbert@canoe:~/devel/failsafe> netstat -rn
Routing tables

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags    Refs      Use  Netif Expire

192.168.22.1       192.168.12.2       UH          0        0   tun0

shouldn't the last route there be active?  Any clues here?

Dave.
