the specification strongly supposed about a security gateway which has
two interface, namely the internal and the outernal, even though the one
considered about a host to be secured.

i think it's implementation design matter.  we choiced to implement it
like a address based packet filtering, not a interface based.

On the router which had multiple interfaces, if we configured IPSec on
the interface A, but the kernel decided a packet to forward to the
interface B due to routing information, the packet could not be secure.
