[j-nsp] L2 tunnel over IP on ex4200-24t

[Mark Tees]

I'm pretty sure MPLS over GRE is not supported on EX4200's. I would
have my doubts that PFE could do it.

If you want to do that you would be better off getting two of the
branch SRX's (depending on traffic levels) to do this I think as it
will give you more flexibility.
