Hi William,
one question. Is there ever actually going to be a situation in which
an ipv6 gre tunnel will go from
external to not external? I'm wondering if the "no external" option is
really needed since default is
no and I'm not sure under what circumstances a tunnel would go from
external to not external.
Thanks,
- Greg
