Ah, I was not clear enough: there is a whole internet between the vigors and the VPN server. Both the vigors and the VPN server are directly connected to the internet with a public IP address

OK. But how do I convince the Vigor routers to send all traffic for the 172.31 and 172.28/29 throught the tunnel? Mmmm. Maybe I should create two tunnels to the VPN server, 1 for each network. Will the OpenSwan VPN server do the appropriate routing (so that I get a star topology and not a mesh topology)?

Additional question: can I somehow see all incomming and outgoing IPSEC traffic on a Linux 2.6 kernel (something like "tcpdump -i eth2 | grep pattern")?
