Hi
Yes, You can do it.
Even you can run IPSEC VPN between 2 VDOM.

I have done this a few times in a test environment, though I do not recall needing to use cross-over cables. YMMV though.

great thanks. trying it now.
Yeap to vdoms and one vdom-link. You can still tie down two ports with a cross over.

vdoms are not valid for this use case.
Dear dirkdigs, I test this scenario myself with VDOMs.
It works.
usually just put a router in the way, otherwise the tunnel is also the gateway
