	OK, 10.0.0.1 being your outside IP.

	The inner header is setup with ifconfig, no different than it is
	with a bi-directional gif tunnel. So:

		hadji# ifconfig gif0 172.16.1.1 172.16.1.2

	172.16.1.1 being Your inside source IP and 172.16.1.2 being the
	inside destination IP.

	The tricky part here is to remove the existing interface route
	that is added with the above ifconfig command.

		hadji# route delete 172.16.1.2

	I'm sure there are variations on how to get this to work
	without removing this route, but I chose to remove the route
	instead.

	Then add the route for gif outside dest IP like so:

		hadji# route add 172.16.1.2 24.13.10.5 -iface 172.16.1.1

	So the packet going outbound will have a header like this:

	10.0.0.1 > 24.13.10.5 : 172.16.1.1 > 172.16.1.2
	|____________________|	|______________________|
		^			^
	 Outside header		  Inside header



	Now, Setup the other side with the same strategy:

		thunder# ifconfig gif0 link0
		thunder# gifconfig gif0 inet 24.13.10.5 0.0.0.0
		thunder# ifconfig gif0 172.16.1.2 172.16.1.1
		thunder# route delete 172.16.1.1
		thunder# route add 172.16.1.1 10.0.0.1 -iface 172.16.1.2
