Enhance VPN proxy function for HMC

1) We know the HMC does not allow the user to modify the VPN properties from PMR discussion * David Dilling & Nguyen Nguyen )
2) HSBC needs to somehow route VPN traffic like this below. I used the term "VPN proxy" but really it can just be a normal firewall that is able to handle IPSec traffic between 2 endpoints (the HMC and IBM). So a request needs to be created for HMC development to see what they can do to assist HSBC (if that is even possible).
