Mmmm if you can VPN from one network to the other, you need to configure another VPN going in the other direction for it to be "bi-directional". Ideally, you can create a VPN end-point for each network, connect them each via PSK (pre-shared key) and then have a permanent VPN for two-way traffic. This would best be done with L2TP/IPSec. However, VPN by nature is client to server / client to appliance and therefore at some point the client must be the server and vice-versa if you want opposite flow traffic to work. Ping replies are just being returned to the client, but server-generated pings will not work with just one VPN connection active.
Make sense?
I'm also not sure what a "permanent", always-active dual-VPN connection would do to your box in terms of performance. It may not even notice the extra load, or it could seriously chug. YMMV.
