I've successfully configured a strongSwan client for use with an ASA (8.0).  
However, in order for a VPN to remain stable, I had to disable 'isakmp 
keepalive' on the ASA.  It seems that the ASA never sees a DPD message reply 
from the strongSwan client, and so deletes the SAs after 3 DPD message tries.  
I presume that strongSwan finds the ASA's DPD messges to be unrecognizable.

Although disabling the ASA DPD prevents the healthy, runing VPN from being 
unexpectedly kneecapped, I =need= DPD.  Otherwise, if the client crashes then 
the SAs linger on the ASA and obstruct a new new VPN from being negotiated with 
the client.

Suggestions?  Is interoperability with ASA DPD a feature that might appear in a 
future release?
