Thanks for your offer Greg!  I found it a bit tough to find PIM routing
code for IPv4 but dug up an alpha 'pimdd' dense mode pim daemon from
http://antc.uoregon.edu/PIMDM/ and after a quick and dirty port, I compiled
it for OpenBSD (running 3.2 on our sparc border router).  I can do
GRE and also ESP IPSec (with ISAKMP).  I will play with the daemon
tonight and see if it works.

Regards,

Michael
