Hi,

If I understand your scenario correctly, you do not need VTun here at all. 
Just turn on bridging (parprouted is integrated in the 2290 build) on all
of the intermediatory routers. L3 bridging that is used by WISP-Dist
should work together with L2 bridging used by ROR without problems. 

Then the client having an IP address 200.100.10.x will be able to ping and
route through 200.100.10.1.

You can use VTun, but I think in this case it will only make things more
complicated than necessary.
