Looks like a tunnel mtu issue. I have not as of yet traced the

The culprit is the v6 tunnel, which wanders into v4 ipsec/gre tunnels, 
which means the best fix is ipv6 mtu 1280 on the tunnels, and possibly 
on the hosts. PMTUD works fine, just comes up with the wrong answer.

1280, the new 1500.

        actually, to be safe,   1220.
