VPNs are set up at the transport level and they should be absolutely transparent to the applications that are using them including MQSeries. I participated in the project with several hundred queue managers deployed in hub and spoke across the U.S., all via a vpn or dedicated circuit to the hub. 99.99% VPN's already provide such services as encryption, signing and authenticity verification, see IPSEC standard for more information. You will have to analyze your security risks carefully to determine if you really want to use MQSeries SSL channel via a networking infrastructure that already provides the services that are included in the SSL. Probably not. Let us know.
