I don't understand why the latency will be so high. I've run misc test (not with * since I don't have a PBX/voicemail needs with *) and find that I have less issues (more consisten responces and good throughput) with FreeS/WAN. The firewall machines maintain a persistant tunnel. They should be keeping "active" connecitons between servers humming right along. Do you have an overloaded FreeS/WAN server? I even get better results going through FreeS/WAN on one connection to my home (the cable provider seems to like to bandwith throttle the other services to some degree).
