It's time to have a good and comprehensive guide/how-to on this setup...
So the aim of this document is to be the reference DMVPN setup, with all the networking services needed for the clients that will use the DMVPN (DNS, DHCP, firewall, etc.).
 
A DMVPN is made up two kind of hosts: an '''Hub''' node (also called ''Core'' router) and a '''Leaf''' node (also called ''Edge'' router). We'll start documenting the '''Leaf''' node setup.
 
The recommended version of Alpine for building a DMVPN should be at minimum 2.4.11. Don't use 2.5.x, or 2.6.0 as it has in-tunnel IP fragmentation issues. Alpine 2.6.1 or later are also okay.
