Opportunistic Encryption is only supported by freeswan on linux
(according to them).  I believe they came up with the idea.  While this
is fine, there are some DNS requirements.  If you control your own dns
server and have access to your reverse records, then you can enter in your RSA keys.

As for going without OE, one needs to predefine each connection, not
necessarily each IP address.  With my vpn clients, I have a public rsa
key on the server and on the client (they have eachother's public rsa).
Then I tell the server, accept this rsa key.  The client is configured
the same way.  I can then connect from any ip address, even those behind
NAT firewalls.  One does need a static public server though.  This would
work on a wireless link, even from a bootable cd image, however the
configuration is as static as the cd.
