I don't see where you're using bridging in this case, which is the host and
which are UML sessions?

I've never used IPSec but it's just a higher level protocol, there should be
no problem transporting it over tun or a bridge.  The higest protocol a
bridge is aware of is ARP at layer 2.

Do you need a VPN between the boxes?  It isn't necessary but I can see why
you might want to.
