It doesn't work over firewalls that block UDP.  I have it working fine 
over a few firewalls.  My VPNs have no firewalls on them...

SPREAD SEGMENT 1
---------------
IPSEC VPN SIDE A
---------------
FIREWALL SITE A
---------------
INTERNET
---------------
FIREWALL SITE B
---------------
IPSEC VPN SIDE B
---------------
SPREAD SEGMENT 2
