Both routed and gated (from Cornell) have trouble with popup-interfaces. All
implementations I've seen so far only look for interfaces at startup, so
they're not aware of interfaces ifconfig(1m)-ed afterwards, so you have to try
to get it work by installing static routes. This works for me.

Hope this helps,
