Hi Paul,
In my configs, I never use it and it seems to work fine. I am wondering when it 
is needed? I can see a possibly case when the IPsec server is on a multi-homed
LAN and you don't want to route through the default gateway. I know it can take 
a value of %direct, but when testing on the LAN I seemed to remember it worked
correctly between two servers on the LAN without it being set.

It is almost never needed anymore. I've thought about if we were ready
to obsolete the option, but i think there are a few corner cases left
where it is needed.

Paul
