That is very difficult, since the VPN policies will be instructed to
delete all plaintext traffic if an IPsec SA is up. You might be able to
do it using portselectors, so try and set left and rightprotoport for
the ports you want encrypted. But I wouldn't be surprised if it still
dropped all other traffic.

The real question here is why would you want this. Your routers do not have
enough CPU? What algorithms are you using?

Nope
