Hello,
This is all getting a bit heavy for my liking, but can someone please confirm
the state of play for me.
I was under the impression that this problem is because of a bug in older
versions of the Linux Kernel. From the amount of discussion about attempted
workarounds, I get the impression the problem still exists and can be
reproduced with even the latest kernels.
Is this the case?
TIA
Chris

I mean tunl0 is usually needed to receive IPIP packets, so
in normal cases you do not need such interface in director even
when using TUN real servers. The PMTU setting must be for the route
to RIP. Such setting (and special route to daddr=RIP) can be needed
only if PMTU to RIP is less than the outdev MTU.

It is needed but it is not on tunl0, eg. it is via eth0

The VIP does not play here. The forwarded traffic is
routed to daddr=RIP (as for the other forwarding methods). Only the
clients need a route to VIP.
