I'm thinking of trying it out. It seems to make more sense (from my point
of view) than the current method of filtering -- IPSec filtering inbound,
then regular traffic filtering outbound. So if outbound traverses a MAP,
it's a little more difficult to do client-side filtering. Still possible,
just more difficult.

Does anyone have any experience with using IPSEC_FILTERGIF and ipf? Any
recommendations for/against?
