Actually, they warn against using gif devices to tunnel IPv4 over IPv4.
The normal method to tunnel that way is with tunnel-mode ESP, which is
just a matter of setting up the various rules using the setkey command.

I'd recommend searching the KAME mail archives.  My knowledge is a little
out of date, and I think they changed the way you set up SPD's since the
last time I worked with KAME.
