I mean that even a configuration with only one tunnel that is listening is creating problems because both StrongSWAN and OpenSWAN add IP addresses on the ipsecN interface that are identical to the ones on the real interface (ethN). I think the problem is related to the presence of the ipsecN interface in KLIPS (linux-2.4). On 2.6 kernels there is no such interface and consequently there is no "conflict". Is there any real solution to this problem? On the other hand, my understanding of the solution you gave me (inserting a rule "from LNET to RNET") is that it can be applied once the tunnel is up. However, would you care to elaborate more on this case as well?
