sounds quite intriguing! care to share a few shell command snippets?
i've also tried the ssh connect then pppd overlay with dismal results.
but i finally have succeeded (to some level, maybe not what i need,
but it's a start) with this:
# create new device
ip tunnel add $DEV \
local $OUTSIDE_HERE \
remote $OUTSIDE_THERE \
mode gre
# talk between these two points (with network on far end)
ifconfig $DEV $INSIDE_HERE pointopoint $INSIDE_THERE \
netmask 255.255.255.0
# now re-establish our firewall rules to include the new gadget
ipmasq
any caveats to watch for, there?
