I have a GRE tunnel configured between two linux boxes. The tunnel works fine. I can ping from each host the other private ip.

Head privateip: 10.0.0.1

publicip: 8.8.8.8

Tail privateip: 10.0.0.2

publicip: 7.7.7.7

The public IP on Tail has the network block 9.9.9.0/23 statically routed over the 7.7.7.7 interface. The idea is to make the 9.9.9.0/23 ips work on servers on the 8.8.8.8 network.

I configure the tail host to route the /23 block. I mounted a 9.9 IP on the head server. I can ping the 9.9 ip from the tail to the head.

I can't ping the 9.9 ip from the public internet.

I think I need to add some other routes because of gateway issues, but I can't seem to wrap my mind around it (not a router guy, just beating my way through something that I have never done before and vaguely understand)

The routes need to exist in both directions, all the way through the path. I'm not quite sure from your description exactly what's not working.
