  It certainly can be implemented.
  The key is that one doesn't use the SPD, but rather the nfmark to
decide which is which. One has to also use the nfmark to do proper
routing.
  At the IKE level, one has to introduce new customized traffic
selectors, something that is already in IKEv2.

  Yes, but that doesn't deal with the fact that there is but one routing
table by default.
