Dar,
Cisco allows you to encapsulate gre tunnel traffic in IPSec. Cool huh? So
actually you can encapsulate almost any protocol traffic in IPSec. Tunnel a
tunnel.
Read this:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios113ed/113t/113t_3/ipsec.pdf
It's really good I read it 3 times -Page 6 notes the supported
encapsulations reading:
Supported Encapsulation
IPSec works with the following serial encapsulations: High-Level Data-Links
Control (HDLC), Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), and Frame Relay.
IPSec also works with the GRE and IPinIP Layer 3 tunneling protocols;
however, multipoint tunnels are not supported. Other Layer 3 tunneling
protocols (DLSw, SRB, etc.) are currently not supported for use with IPSec.
Since the IPSec Working Group has not yet addressed the issue of group key
distribution, IPSec currently cannot be used to protect group traffic (such
as broadcast or multicast traffic).
