That's nice.  I have IPSec between a couple of my systems, too.
But it's that limited, a COUPLE of systems.  There is NO WAY that
my whole company could get IPSec deployed between each and every
host in the enterprise.  No way.  And _THAT_ is the scale that I'm
worried about.

Sure, I could set up IPSec between my 6 hosts at home.  6^2 isn't a
large number of keys to manually configure.  Now imagine thousands
of hosts.
