If you can be bothered reading all this and even answer just some of my
questions I'd be very pleased! 

I want to provide a backup for a LES100 link between 2 sites using
dynamic routing over adsl/ipsec. 

The proposed solution involves purchasing a couple of expensive cisco
layer 3 switches that are used to run eigrp over a the LES100 and a
ipsec/gre tunnel between a nokia firewall and a cisco 837 adsl router.

The nokia is already there so it's not a problem; however I think I can
replace the cisco switches with a couple of openbsd boxes which can run
ospf over ipsec/gre. (I can probably also replace the 837 with a much
cheaper adsl router and use openbsd as an ipsec gateway/router).

Can anyone forsee any problems doing this with the current state of ospf
within openbsd? Or gif instead of gre perhaps?

Would using bgp for dynamic routing be a better solution as I've read
that bgp can be run over ipsec without the need for a gre tunnel and so
would provide better performance. (I've never configured bgp though).

Finally, do you think some standard PCs/soekris boxes (perhaps with CARP
for failover?) would be sufficient for the routers? 

Any comments or examples of similar configurations would be much
appreciated!

Kind regards,
Stephen Marley
