Version 12.3(13)

Yes, it's a very simple network, 1 Cisco router, 1 Squid server, and 1 
3Com total control chassis.

It looks like ip_gre

No. We have two sites that we are trying to make this work on, one has 
just the setup above, the other has a web server also. When we first tried 
to set it up we broke all inbound access, so we are starting with the 
simple config.
