Two IPsec tunnels and hairpin between them

HI Guys,

I have the following requirement to achieve and just need to ensure that it is possible. Please see attached the relevant diagram.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4426466/forum%20post.jpg

The Firewall in the Middle (Data Center) has only one purpose to terminate the VPNs and hair pin them . It has no LAN.

Why are we doing this ?? Company 2 needs to see the source of the ipsec traffic to be an Indian ip addr.

I need to have the traffic flow between the 10.21.121.0/24 on site 1 to the network 192.168.7.0/24 on site B .Is this possible once I have.

same-security-traffic permit intra-interface

the networks at both ends included in the encryption domain.
a no nat statement on the middle firewall for the both networks,

How would I place a second firewall in the middle tier to be redundant if the main one failed. HSRP or similiar ???

Thanks in advance

Why not just establish a second ipsec connection between the two sites? It doesn't make much sense to go through the additional overhead of traversing two tunnels to get to it's destination when it could be done with one.
