[ale] Distros with IPsec out-of-the-box.

The Toshiba Magnia server machine has a mutant form of RedHat 7.1. It
ships with VPN (ppptp) out of the box. It has a command to run that
generates a floppy file for adding keys to the client machines. Its
pretty slick as long as the magnia has a static IP address.

IPSEC is way too complicated to automate yet. I guess it could be
scripted so that the ipsec modules are loaded and then it checks for all
the keys and prompts to make them if they are missing. The biggest pain
is getting the client setup right.
