Hi,

I just tried to set up an IPIP-tunnel with proxy for part of a network
on one end.  I noticed the following problems:

BTW, I'm using linux-2.2.0pre7ac5 and net-tools-1.49 compiled from a
net-tools-1.49-1.src.rpm found in redhat's hurricane contrib.

One other thing, is there any good documentation for the IPIP-tunnel
device to be found, all I could find was documentation for the
2.0-kernels and the syntax has changed somewhat.

ifconfig on a IP-tunnel device loses the P-t-P attribute.

the tunnel device is set up with:

ifconfig tunl0 192.168.150.2 pointopoint 192.168.151.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

ifconfig on a tunnel device with 2.2.0-pre7ac5 shows:

tunl0     Link encap:IPIP Tunnel  HWaddr   
          inet addr:192.168.150.2  Mask:255.255.255.0

while ifconfig on a tunnel device with 2.0.36 shows:

tunl0     Link encap:IPIP Tunnel  HWaddr 
          inet addr:192.168.150.2  P-t-P:192.168.151.1  Mask:255.255.255.0

So the 2.2-kernel shows the wrong result.  I belive I have to set up
the tunnel device as pointopoint, since when I tried it witout I
couldn't get it to work.

Proxy arp for networks using a netmask doesn't work.

I.e. the following command is just ignored and won't show up in
/proc/net/arp:

arp -i eth0 -s 192.168.150.0 de:ad:be:ef:ed:00 netmask 255.255.255.240 pub

I've replaced it with a loop like this right now which works but is
kind of ugly and I was hoping for a better way to do it:

for i in 1 2 3 4 ... 13 14
do
    arp -i eth0 -s 192.168.150.$i de:ad:be:ef:ed:00 pub
done
