Turning the archives upside-down and shaking a bit turned up this:

>From the checkpoint KB:
"Secure Client 4.1 SP2 and later when used with FireWall-1 4.1 SP2 
 and later support a 'UDP Encapsulation Mode' for IKE. Instead of 
 using IP Protocol 50, UDP port 2746 is used. Most NAT gateways can 
 perform address translation on UDP packets and it is designed to 
 work with HIDE NAT, meaning multiple users can make use of 
 SecuRemote behind a HIDE NAT gateway. Provided your clients
 are able to use TCP port 264 to fetch the topology, UDP port 500 
 to perform an IKE key exchange, and UDP port 2746, this should work."

... which our consistency checker croaked on:
DROP: rule=LayerSizeConsistency recvif=int ipproto=UDP
  srcip=10.x.x.x srcport=2746
  destip=194.x.x.x destport=2746
  ipdataLen=84 udptotlen=76

One wonders why checkpoint's own inspection code didn't react to 
obviously broken packets like these.


So, anyway, this appears to be an issue only with UDP (NAT-traversal)
encapsulation, and this support case was from september 2001.  Maybe
they've gotten around to fixing this now. Pick up your upgrade and
support agreements and give them a call?

(I've tried searching phoneboy.com on this issue to no avail.)

(Sorry I can't be of more help. All I have is this one support case.)
