That is one of the things I was afraid of.  I'm also connected to the
ipv6 net by a tunnel so I'm losing a few bytes of MTU to that.

Nope.  I normally spend time convincing others to stop blocking icmp (or
if they must) to only block icmp-echo-request if their religion demands
it.

I hope not.  I do have access to a machine on a different tunnel to this
broker, so I should be able to test end-to-end ICMP for that.

I may have to do that.  Thanks for the idea.  I didn't realize there was
an iptables plugin for that.
