Out of curiosity: for these tunnels which VIP does the encapsulation work?
The VIP that has the outgoing interface corresponding to the "tunnel dest"
IP?  Or can you tie GRE/L2TP processing to a specific VIP (sort of like 
the Juniper Tunnel PIC)?

Back on topic, I think the 7200/NPE-G1 or 7301 are very interesting boxes
here - much less real estate, much faster primary CPU, and a fast second
CPU that Cisco is already working on, implementing these nice things...
