Thanks,

good to know there is hope. Unfortunately adding up directive at the end of
the ifconfig-line makes no difference :(

I should also have mentioned that this is on 9.1-RELEASE. The host is
multihomed, so the tunnels needs a route installed to "go the right way",
ie they should not go over the default route. Maybe I should just add the
NOAUTO keyword and create a local rc.d service that start all tunnels...
