Hi,

Will this fix the issue that I see visualising  its self as packet loss 
over a VPN tunnel?

The tunnel is an openvpn (tun mode) tunnel providing a route to 
192.168.201.0/24 however when I ping an address in this network with 
flowtable enabled I see 2-3 out of every 5-6 packets end up being sent 
out of bge0 (IP 172.17.XX.XX/23 GW 172.17.XX.1) to the default gateway 
(which responds with destination host unreachable) rather than down tun0.

Thanks

Tom
