Correct, but in this case, pinging the other end of the link also
failed:

gif0: flags=8011<UP,POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
	inet 10.0.2.130 --> 10.0.2.2 netmask 0xffffffff 
	physical address inet 209.167.75.123 --> 209.167.75.124

waterloo.heers.on.ca# ping 10.0.2.2
PING 10.0.2.2 (10.0.2.2): 56 data bytes
^C
--- 10.0.2.2 ping statistics ---
15 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

I don't get the reason for this part.  This is perhaps due to some
IPsec issues?  netstat gave us an interesting result:

       34 inbound packets violated process security policy
