Hi Jeff!
I have been informed from VERY reliable sources that it is just peachy
to add IP addresses for tunnels when they are needed!
IN FACT - you should find guidelines for doing so in the initial
instructions of your actual lab.
I think this was just a minor oversight on behalf of the IEWB authors.
