I have a client that uses Shiva VPN (IPSEC-based) across our FreeBSD 
firewall. Now, it would seem that most current IPSEC implementations expect 
to see a unique client IP address for each tunnel. Because the FreeBSD 
firewall is NAT'ing the internal network (well, PAT, but who uses that term 
anymore?) for Internet access using one IP address Shiva fails if more than 
one user tries to use create a VPN connection.

The obvious solution is then to assign one unique public IP address to each 
Shiva user. This will work. However, I'd like some suggestions on other 
ways to solve this. Has anyone worked with Shiva VPN? What about using 
IPSEC to multiple clients across a NAT'ing router? Keep in mind that we do 
not have access to the VPN itself. I can only act as a router here and not 
an end-point. (Actually, I wouldn't be opposed to solutions assuming I can 
act as an end-point, just for completeness.)
