I am still not able to make that work, although I haven't worked on it in awhile. The last I remember is that with the patches applied, the moment FreeS/WAN starts, all network traffic goes out the ipsec0 interface instead of continuing to be routed via eth0 (or whichever interface). This happens without a tunnel brought up. And for some reason, I was not able to assign a metric to the route using either the 'route' command or 'ip route'. -- Jason A.
