This past week, I started testing GRE tunneling to allow our elementary schools 
to access some files on a high school samba server.  All the schools have cable 
modem connections to the Internet (which is its only connectivity).  Each 
school has addresses in the 192.168.x.y range.  Security/clear text is not an 
issue for this need.

We currently make good use of iptables.  My question is does iptables INPUT 
look at the tunneled packets twice, once with the ethx device and once with the 
device created for the tunnel?  If so, is there a port number associated with 
GRE?
