You can limit rules to specific interfaces. In the 'edit rule' screen
press F5 for advanced options and you will see that a 'Outgoing
interface' field appears. Here you can select the interface that the
rule needs to apply to. Note that only the interfaces attached to the
destination network are selectable. In your case you should select your
WAN interface. This way the ipsec0 interface should be excluded from the
masq.

Btw, is there any reason for choosing masq over snat? Snat does the same
but is slightly faster, and keeps connections open if the interface goes
down and up again. Masq is more useful for dialup connections with
dynamic ipaddresses. Thats the theory anyway :-)

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Victor
