improvement in the face of partial failures, like in a natural disaster
when an ISP's fiber gets torn or their building collapses.
So this is a hack to correct for the hack of AMPRnet IPIP tunnels. Argh, it
makes my head hurt.
If AMPRnet was treated like any other network on the internet, this problem
would go away. At worst anyone not redundantly connected to the global
internet would lose connectivity if their small gateway went down.
