Tom,

Good, issues squashed. :-)

If you want to pursue this, and have a spare net5501, I'd try to setup the 
net5501/AstLinux box as only VPN/Firewall to replace your current VPN box.  
Switch to OpenVPN for your road-warrior's and use IPsec to your other sites.

If you run into problems you could swap the boxes with little fuss.

Then when AstLinux VPN/Firewall is working on a second box, you could then 
consider combining the functionality on one box with two external interfaces.
