Great idea.

You got me to look at it anyway, and I would not have before.

It looks possible to achieve the idea with openvpn. I have a test setup
At the moent for ipsec I will try it out with openvpn tunnels and see if it 
works.

Will post performance  tests of results in a few days. Any configurations that 
you or anyone has of working openvpn  configs would be helpfull
