   I have this situation with WinXP & IPSec client. I just made a virtual   
   network interface for the IPSec tunnel (several IPSec clients supports this   
   option) and set NAT (in winXP that's "Internet connection sharing") on that   
   interface, so other computers on the LAN can go through the tunnel using   
   this client machine as a gateway. You can use the tunnel for only one   
   network at the other end, or you can route all the traffic through the   
   tunnel.
