Actually not. I worked around the issue by switching from the
"ipsec-tools" package (i.e. static rules and keying done by hand) to
strongswan. Now the whole setup works as intended with the rules being
more or less the ones cited in my original post.
It would be nice to know what the differences are on the package level
between strongswan configured ipsec and the ones configured via
ipsec-tools.
Regards
Thomas.
