Are these between routers or PIX's? I assume routers by using GRE!

If it is on routers I believe you can set a keepalive for the tun int's,
thus keeping it active

Subject: OT: GRE Ipsec Tunnel Keepalive

Sorry for the off topic, but I need some opinions.
I have multiple gre tunnels between sites and I use ipsec to encrypt traffic
over them. When I need something encrypted, I point a static route to the
tunnel interfaces.
Works great, however, the ipsec sa expires after 24 hour, and there is s
slight delay upon re-establishment of the ipsec ike sa. I need the ipsec sa
to be permenantly established.
 Should I run a routing protocol between the tunnel interfaces? Any other
ideas will be appreciate.

Thanks,
