That machine has neither 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1 as its IP address, so
pluto does not know wether it is supposed to be 'left' or 'right'.

Eitehr you dont have ip address when you start openswan, or you are using
advanced routing to add multiple ip addresses without using 'ip aliases'.
This is not yet supported. Use 'ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.1.1' instead)
