Using freeswan at least (and likely for every other implementation of
ipsec), without opportunistic encryption, each connection is point to
point.  Thus it may be practical for all clients to a few servers, but
certainly not for all machines to all machines.

Depends on the setup.  How about a packet filter on each kernel that only
allows input via an ipsec# interface?  Now the only way to talk (new
connections) to the machine is by being authenticated via RSA.  Put your
rsa keys in the dns server and lock it down.  Viola, more
secure than C2.
