well no-one I know has done it. You'll be the first - let 
us know how it goes :-)

I don't know what "as the other node end" means. However the 
ends of the connection don't know that there's a tunnel in 
between, so a tunnel shouldn't affect the director.

IPSec isn't used a lot. I don't know why - it seems like 
good stuff to me. I would have thought that it should have 
been used for wifi, rather than WEP/WPA.

there aren't that many people using windows with LVS. You're 
on new ground here.
