Hello,
I'm cross posting this from the OpenSwan mailing list, in case someone here
can help.
We have two sites connected via OpenSwan 2.6.32-9 on CentOS 5, sharing 6
/24 subnets each (so 12 in total).
The problem we're having is completely randomly, be it in the middle of the
day, or in the middle of the night (so I don't believe it's traffic
related), certain (and sometimes all) routes will drop. They usually
recover after a few minutes, but it's still long enough for our monitoring
to detect downtime.
The configuration we have on each device is:
conn site-a
keyingtries=0
keylife=1h
ikelifetime=8h
left=1.1.1.1
right=2.2.2.2
leftsubnets={x.x.x.x/24,x.x.x.x/24,x.x.x.x/24,x.x.x.x/24,x.x.x.x/24,x.x.x.x/24}
rightsubnets={x.x.x.x/24,x.x.x.x/24,x.x.x.x/24,x.x.x.x/24,x.x.x.x/24,x.x.x.x/24}
pfs=yes
auto=start
authby=secret
dpddelay=30
dpdtimeout=120
dpdaction=hold
phase2alg=aes256-sha1;modp1536
phase2=esp
ike=aes256-sha1;modp1536
It's mirrored exactly the same on the other side.
I have tried changing the dead peer detection timeout to something high (5
minutes), and removing it completely (which I believe defaults it to 30
seconds), neither of which made any difference.
I can't see any very obvious errors in the logs, however the most recent
drop out produced the following message around the same time:
Feb 10 00:53:09 site-b-vpn pluto[30584]: "site-a/5x5" #39: max number of

and also

Feb 10 00:52:25 site-a-vpn pluto[2414]: "site-b/6x6" #1: received and

Before we move to another solution, does anyone have any suggestions on
what the problem might be? Running a constant ping between the two hosts
doesn't drop *any* packets (even when the IPSec connection itself drops
out).
Thanks in advance.
