One thing that operators of routers with a multitude of interfaces want to do
is send all ICMP messages from a specific IP address. Often the public
address, that has the sane reverse DNS name.
AFAIK, this is not an option on Linux, but Cisco/Juniper/etc. devices usually
can do this. I can't recall how today. (I was actually looking that up this week)
This can conflict however, with the need to get the result back into the
tunnel. I don't have a good answer, except that we probably need a fair bit
of flexibility, with some good automatically discovered defaults.
