Let's say that the firewall isn't the default gateway. Will the Nokia
advertise the route for a network on the other end of a VPN tunnel
using Checkpoint? If I can remember right, FP3 didn't do this as
Checkpoint didn't pass routing information down to IPSO. Does anybody
know?

Now, if the question above is a YES, then Q2 and Q3 become relevant.
BTW, I am not talking GRE/IPSec.
