With PI (on both ends), there is only one combination of source and
destination IP address.  Which makes this quite easy - try this 
combination, and if it works, it's the best possible option.  Sounds
"solved" to me.

(And in networks with special policy requirements, the policy can be
implemented on the network gear where it can be easily verified - and
one doesn't have to test this on all different OS stacks in use to
be sure it works everywhere).
