I appreciate the suggestions, but neither of these possibilities can be made to work for what I need to do. Well actually I could prototype with netfilter, but it isn't much harder to do it in-kernel than to write a userspace app. Most importantly, by doing it in-kernel I get much more control over latency. I have (soft) real-time requirements for my application. I've also considered IPSec and other approaches - the only other way that might work for me is to add AES encryption to the packet mangling stuff in the IP Filter, but then my system isn't network-transparent anymore...
