Hi again,

I solved the problem:
Since the kernel 2.6.10, we must set a "fwd" policy in the same way we
did for the "in" policy on each host-end of the tunnel.

I just found one reference on the web:
http://www.ipsec-howto.org/x277.html (one line in the middle)

I hope others newbies like me won't lose too much time on it...
