Like a dummynet tunnel within a public network?  Hmm...  never done/seen
anything like this - what would be the advantages?  It's not any more
'robust' (if a NIC fails, a host still has no other entrance).  It's not
particularly secure (the public network allows outside access to each
host).  Perhaps you would encrypt the dummynet tunnel for some sort of
internal, private communication?
