ipip device on FreeBSD is gif0

FreeBSD command sample:

ifconfig gif0 create
ifconfig gif0 tunnel 10.0.0.3 10.0.0.1
ifconfig gif0 inet 172.16.0.3 172.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

no. ldirectord is a wrapper around LVS that does failout.
ipip encapsulation is done by LVS.

I don't think the ipip device on *BSD is tunl
