    	While I don't remember if it included tools, there was a paper on 
    pen-testing an IPSEC gateway at the Cansecwest conference 2 years ago. The
    gist of it was that it is possible to cause a (defeatable) denial of service
    in the first 12 bytes of an initial connection it was otherwise pretty 
    secure. That of course doesn't necessarily go for the management web interface
    on the VPN gateway (there was also a paper on penetrating those at the same
    conference). That should at least give you a place to start poking :-).
    I believe the web site is www.cansecwest.com (google will find it in any case).
