I forgot to say in my original reply that I was using IPSEC transport
mode. When I was discussing this with Bill Fenner he pointed out that
there was no such thing as IPSEC 'interface mode', though there had
been some discussion during the standards process about the need for
such a thing.

The combination of IPSEC transport mode and a tunneling protocol
provides such a mode.
