Well, right. What gre/ipip does there is Just Broken.
The "other end of the tunnel" should be taken from a separate
configuration parameter, not by overloading the interface destination
address parameter (which is the address of the "inside" of the tunnel,
not the address of the "outside").
Actually, given route-to-interface for point-to-point links, there's
no need to have a (special) destination address for point-to-point
links at all.
