Yes, the PIX 515 is cumbersome to configure for Tunnelling. I had to do it
with a checkpoint firewall. Also tunneling on a PIX has allot of overhead
that could be used for its primary job, filtering packets and natting. Im
surprised your not looking into a cisco 3005, which can handle more then the
concurrent connections you need, and only costs about 4K
