The problem I have with this is when traffic is routed via the regular
ISP, the source address is no longer 44.x, it's the public IP of the NAT

Why should I as an Echolink relay operator be expected to go through the
additional effort of configuring IPIP just so you can enjoy the novelty of
both ends of the connection having 44/8 addresses? Your IPIP encapsulated
packet will still have your ISP's address and will take the same path
regardless. I understood that one of the motivations of the 44.190/16
prefix was to allow end users to easily configure their routing policy
correctly to avoid tunneling to UCSD first (which isn't the end of the
world since Javier and I are setting up our relays also in California).
