I admit that this is one of the few of your 50+ posts in the last two
weeks that directly relates to Shorewall, but I'm afraid that I couldn't
write a DNAT rule that shortens the payload of a packet if I tried. So I
have no clue what is going on in this case. Have you tried comparing the
packets arriving from the net with those being sent to the IPSEC endpoint?
