A note about tunnels and VPNs
-----------------------------
Some VPN implementations (notably OpenVPN and Linux GRE) do not
automatically add an IPv6 link-local address to the tunnel interface.
If you attempt to run Babel over such an interface, it will complain
that it ``couldn't allocate requested address''.
The solution is to manually add the link-local address to the
interface. This can be done by running e.g.
# ip -6 addr add $(ahcp-generate-address fe80::) dev gre0
3. Start the routing daemon
