You can install quagga (zebra) on both ends and run rip or ospf routing
protocols.  I haven't done this over cipe but would expect it to
work if you use ifconfig to enable multicast on the interface.

Then you would configure each node to announce to the other(s) what
routes to send and only have to make changes locally if the
network changes.  This is probably only worth the trouble if you
plan to make redundant or dynamic connections. Otherwise for a
small network static routes work pretty well. Since you mentioned
fedora1 you should have a fill-in-the-form place to add CIPE
tunnels and associated routes in the 'redhat-config-network' GUI.
Or, you can put the routes in the ifup script as in the examples.
