I recently went through the same scenario. Our requirements were roughly the
same and we decided on L2TPv3 with a 3745 and a 3845 as endpoints for the
tunnel. I don't think the 3600 series supports L2TPv3. We will be implementing
this in about two weeks so I will let you know how well it works (worked well
in the lab).
I'm curious to see your linux/vtun solution, perhaps you can share it off-list?
