Do you have recir enabled ? If not, good one to enable and check for status of issue.

"If you do not enable tunnel-MPLS recirculation, the IPv4 and IPv4-tunneled packets that need to be labeled (for example, the packets that are encapsulated with an MPLS header) will be corrupted when they are transmitted from the Cisco 7600 series router."

Beginning work on our implementation of MPLS for the backbone network. I've run 
into difficulty with our GRE tunnels. The GRE Tunnel sits on our co-lo router 
(a Cisco 7600), and it uses a route-map to push our 10.x modem traffic to our 
DHCP servers. This is because the backbone is not complete and DHCP traffic 
needs to traverse the internet. What I have found is that when I enable basic 
MPLS on the co-location interfaces that head back to the individual systems, 
DHCP traffic still works, but ICMP and other 10.x traffic dies. There is also 
an intermittent problem with DHCP when it is enabled, where not all DISCOVERS 
are answered. I've tried everything I can think of, including adjusting MTU and 
TCP MSS. It only seems to impact when the co-location router has a GRE tunnel 
on one buffer, which it terminates, and then it has to encapsulate traffic with 
an MPLS tag before sending out of the other buffer. Theoretically, it should 
work, but I can't figure out if there is some prob
lem with MPLS' interaction with the tunnel. Has anyone encountered something 
similar?
