Hi,

The background to this question is this thread I raised in January:

http://marc.info/?t=126330232800003&r=1&w=1

I didn't have chance to continue with it then, but I had a need to
revisit this recently so I dug up my notes again.

I'm not sure how much of RFC 3884 [1] is actually pertinent to what I'm
asking, but I'm basically wondering if it's possible to do what Stuart
Henderson suggested in his last message, i.e. getting isakmpd to
negotiate tunnel mode but actually setting up a transport mode SA
with a peer on my OpenBSD host so that along with the encapsulation
performed by the gif interface, the packet format ends up being the same
as what the peer with its tunnel mode SA will send me. This I believe
should fix the problem I initially discovered.

I did notice in gif(4) this bit in BUGS:

"For example, you cannot usually use gif to talk with IPsec devices that
use IPsec tunnel mode."

FSVO "usually"?

If this isn't currently possible, where would one start modifying code
given there's isakmpd(8), ipsecctl(8), and now iked(8) on the horizon?

Thanks

Matt
