I've used ipsec0 on Linux for similar purposes, and I would like to see
an IPSec interface in FreeBSD as well. As I said, I could not get GIF to
work with FreeS/WAN, so I'm stuck with the current interface-deprived
IPSec implementation.

But at least (and at last!) I can use IPFilter rules for IPSec traffic,
thanks to Crist's suggestion. Since I just want to prohibit traffic to
"this host", that's enough for me.

Thank you all,
