A couple of questions regarding the original post and then some comments: It was unclear to me from the original post why you need the DES/3DES. Are you running end user VPN clients? Router-router tunnels? You need to consider the purpose of the encryption and the information it's intended to guard before deciding on the level. I've got some clients (law enforcement agencies, brokerage firms, etc.) where I don't take any comfort from 3DES. On the other hand, I've got some small business clients that use encryption for interoffice links that transfer non-sensitive/low sensitive information. For these guys, DES is plenty.
