As far as I know, no, because that would be like a "man in the middle" attack (I think). Like this:

A <--- B ---> C

If A is talking to C via IPSEC, A tells C it's IP (the true IP) and C tells A it's IP (its true IP, behind the masquaraded host), but A sees C as B's IP address. How does it know that C knows that B exists?

It doesn't matter, since B can't read/modify the traffic A or C generated.

It can certainly mess with the headers all it wants, but that won't help it figure out what is going on.

(Again, this assumes that A & C have authenticated themselves correctly, per the IPSEC specification. :)

IPSEC won't work through masquarading boxes or NAT firewalls.

is there any way way to cheat?
