In the simplest case, you would just have a generic "labeled_ipsec_t" Type
that would be specified for all the spd rules that pertain to labeled-ipsec.
All the different domains that need to use labeled-ipsec would then polmatch
to labeled_ipsec_t.

The SAs will always and automatically be using the originating domain Type.
So, the SA from the client to server would be auto-labeled mozilla_t,
rss_aggregator_t, etc. (on both ends), and the SA from the server to client
would be auto-labeled httpd_t (again on both ends).
