Ok. There are two different questions being addressed in this thread. One is how to get a standard iOS system to talk to particular servers (which you were addressing) and the other is how to get iOS support for a new VPN client that communicates with its server using a protocol not already supported by iOS, and tunnels all traffic from the iOS system.
The later is the one that probably requires cooperation from Apple.
Don't know which of those is closer to the question Arun asked initially...

Dont want to ignore the other helpful responses here, I'll follow up on them shortly (just wanted to get as many opinions as possible, especially those of the Apple folk!).
But just wanted to clarify - this is a standard ios VPN type, which we want to (a) configure automatically based on our xml file (b) have a simple dialer for - which connects, monitors the connection, and redials when the connection drops, etc.
(a good parallel would be osx/windows where we dont have any custom client-side networking code, but just a couple of GUIs - the installer and the dialer. The installer adds the vpn connection to the system, and the dialer dials it and monitors it).
Thanks for all the responses so far!
Arun
