Configure ProSafe as a full-tunnel VPN client with another ProSafe?
Is it possible to configure a ProSafe to route ALL network traffice (full tunnel) through an IPsec VPN terminated by another ProSafe?

This could entail other units at a later time (eg FVS336Gv3 or SRX5308,) but the prototype scenario consists of an FVS318N at a remote office, terminated with an FVS318N at the main office. The need is to have ALL traffic from the remote office, not just the IP traffic destined for the main office, to traverse the IPsec tunnel rather than through the remote office WAN. Thereby, all traffic to and from the remote office traverse's the main office's WAN.
You can do so, you just need to change the traffic selectors so that it sends everything.
However the only way to route out the remote WAN at that point, would be to setup a proxy server remotely on a PC/Server. For example, in your local browser, to route the traffic from there, over the VPN, to the proxy PC/Server, and in turn out the remote WAN, and then all the way back for responses.
Obviously its slower, but that's how it is done.
Here is an old guide, on the proxy server and PC part of things: http://www.techradar.com/us/news/networking/how-to-set-up-a-proxy-server-704981
The rest is just the VPN setup.
