I was confused about this line:
$IFCONFIG $GIF0 $BSD2_IP $BSD1_IP $NETMASK
Which of the two networks does the netmask apply to? If
the two private networks had different sized netmasks, how
should this be specified?
(to be honest I'm confused about why the gif device is needed at all, but an article in daemonnews said it was to make the routing work properly when using tunnel mode, and there were other ways to do it - but they didn't elaborate on what they were)

Greetings,
In my situation we used 192.168.1.x and 192.168.2.x on the private networks. Both private networks have the same netmask, 255.255.255.0 so I only defined one netmask variable and used it in both switches of the case statement. If one has private networks with differing netmasks the script is easily modifable to fit the need.
Keep in mind that the script is executed on both machines as appropriate through the case statement and the netmask determines how to route to the remote network.
