You need the OS to first strip the GRE encapsulation from the packets then
place them back in the IP input queue.

Once that it is done you will need to use transperant proxy functions to
spin the packets about in your stack.

I have a kernel module that works in a FreeBSD stack, it might work in
yours and I will mail it to you if you wish.
