Yup!
I agree! Architecturally a plugin would be great.
Then a GRE tunnel or an IPIP / whatever people want tunnel can be  
made easily.
Hannes's proposition sounds good. But I would have to see it on paper

We should also check out how people are using tunnels so far in order  
to solve the default GW-does-NAT problem.

How is it done in the Freifunk networks?
Any other networks where you have NAT?
