Hello,

We have been trying to configure a GRE/IPSEC tunnel between our Fedora 11 
firewall (with Shorewall 4.2 and ipsec-tools 0.7.2) and a Cisco firewall. 

Please note that the use of GRE is NOT optional in our case. I know some might 
suggest to use some other type of VPN configuration, but we are interfacing 
with a Cisco firewall belonging to a coporation in Latin America, so we need 
to use GRE with IPSEC.

First, let me tell you a little about our network. Firstly, the internal 
subnet of our network is 172.27.12.0/24, and the internal subnet of the remote 
network (with the Cisco firewall) is 172.16.184.0/21. 

The most difficult thing I have to understand is the following. This is from 
the Cisco FW:

Interface loopbackX
Ip address 10.216.91.168 255.255.255.255

interface TunnelX
 description TUNEL-GRE
 ip address 172.16.184.1 255.255.248.0
 tunnel source LoopbackX
 tunnel destination 10.15.25.225
end

My question is relatively simple: how to I configure the loopback address 
10.15.25.225/32 into Shorewall in order to connect with this Cisco FW? IN 
order to be able configure Shorewall so that the tunnel source is 
10.15.25.225/32 and the tunnel destination is 10.216.91.168/32?

So here's the final question:

*** How to do configure Shorewall to use looback addresses with GRE as in the 
above Cisco configuration example? ***

Thanks for any assistance you can provide!

Many thanks,
Jesse L. Zamora
