If you haven't deployed your VPN environment yet I would seriously
consider using SSL VPN instead of IPSec as your tunneling protocol.
 SSL VPN gives you a lot more options than IPSec.

Hi Gary,

Ben was looking at OpenVPN, not IPSec.. He seems to have a field
application he wants to talk directly to his SQL server. An SSL VPN
that does such a good job protecting interior web services, sometimes
also called a Web VPN or a clientless VPN, may not be on the table.
