Be careful - that script is generated from the templates on various
actions. You need to create specific templates for these changes. Nothing
should need to be modified - you are not modifying IPSEC, you are adding
another set of protocols.

You will not only need to accept those packets, but also send those to
your internal boxes. This may or may not be possible, depending on the
packet types. This sort of work is usually done by a kernel masquerading 
module which handles the multiple concurrent sessions.

I'd suggest you do some research on the protocols involved to find out
if anyone has provided this access from behind a firewall. Many VPN
solutions do not work from behind firewalls - they expect to _be_ the
gateway.

Thanks,
