I understand the overhead and difficulty.  I just want to know if it is
technically feasible.  The reason I am asking is that one of the directors
where I work is considering implementing site wide IPSec encryption for
every connection on the internal network.  This will make internal attacks
impossible to see, therefore I cannot just sit the IDS behind the VPN
because essentially the whole network will be one big VPN.

What is the reason/business case behind this? Do the benefits you gain
really outweigh the drawbacks? 

Curious,
Frank
