Uh huh... I got lucky - I only needed Novell eDirectory, which (at least

But L2TP over IPSec might. Ugly though - yet another tunneling protocol,
and you'd need an L2TP server (Looks like there's an L2TPD for Linux)

GRE tunnel.

Could iptables not NAT the packet for you, so it's not to/from a
non-broadcast interface? I'm just tossing around ideas...
