Almost forgot (well did actually), if they're using NAT you cannot use IPSec
with AH enabled.

The packet headers will be signed with the RFC1918 IP addresses, but will be
received by the remote node with the 'Internet' addresses substituted - thus
the signature will be 'wrong' and the packets will be rejected.
