FreeBSD 7.2 ipfw + ospf + OpenVPN

I have been searching here and google and not found a solution to my problem yet.

I have a FreeBSD 7.2 router at home, running OpenVPN to connect to work through a site to site style VPN tunnel and also passing OSPF over the tun0 interface.

I have ipfw working with NAT when connecting externally. I have rules put in place to troubleshoot at the top of my ipfw ruleset allowing ip, ospf and igmp (any to any via tun0).

Doing a tcpdump on my tun0 interface, I see OSPF broadcasts from my tun0 IP and the peer IP, nothing else. It seems like OSPF is just not working at all through the interface. I am not sure if it is ipfw, but I had the same exact setup working with a Linksys running OpenWRT with iptables. I switched to FreeBSD because I love it :-)

Where do we start with troubleshooting? I am seeing these in the debug logs for ospfd (quagga). It just repeats the same over and over:

OSPF does not use a TCP/IP transport protocol (UDP, TCP), but is encapsulated directly in IP datagrams with protocol number 89. Do you allow proto 89 in your firewall?

Code:
grep -i ospf /etc/protocols 
ospf	89	OSPFIGP		# Open Shortest Path First IGP

Yes sir. :-)

Here is my current ipfw ruleset that is active. This isn't the final ruleset, it's messy and quite open because of troubleshooting this issue.
