This works. Setting up a fixed mtu to the realservers default route (e.g.
1400) fixes the problem.
In other words: If the realservers send packets, which are small enough to
fit into the gre tunnell, everything works fine. 

I can demonstrate this by loggin in from the client to the server via ssh.
It´s possible to login and work with the shell (small tcp packets) but if
you do a "ls -la" in /etc for example (causes a tcp packet which is too big
for the GRE) the connection freezes.
