I used as my premise a previous conversation where you noted that 44.0.0.1 is known not to respond to pings.
44.0.0.1 responds to pings received from the Internet. It does not respond to pings coming into it over an encap connection to it, for some reason that I've not been able to figure out. I believe it to be a difficulty in getting it to recognize decapped pings.
It is running FreeBSD 7.2, not Linux, and I've not had time to debug the networking stack far enough to see where the received ICMP ping request is dropped. - Brian
