Maybe I'm wrong about IPSec but based on what I've read it can't be
natted.  It has to be on a public interface.

&gt; 	Personally, I would avoid an ssl based VPN like the plague.  There is
&gt; no &quot;perfect forward secrecy&quot; or rekeying and the session keys can be
&gt; determined from the PKI authentication keys (in other words, if you
&gt; compromise the key from either end, you can decrypt the traffic, which
&gt; is not the case with IPSec w/ PFS and Diffie-Hellman).
