That can work only in case when you set esp's encryption keys manually and the same on all 30 your clients. Also, SPIs should be the same. I would not call such setup secure. Better way is to put all these clients into single subnet and configure them to require transport mode esp transformation in that subnet + employ automatic keying and auth by certs. And required subset of these scarry 900 tunnels will set up automatically.
