the problem is that I answer these exact same questions 5 times/week. At
times I get rather frustrated with people not googleing for a little bit.

If you use a left/rightsubnet= and you are using KLIPS, it should add
the route. Sometimes it tries to add the wrong route, this will show up in
the log, and you can usually fix it by adding a left/rightnexthop= pointing
to your gateway IP. If using NETKEY, it shouldnt add the route, but sometimes
tries to. Here also adding a the nexthop will cause the failure to vanish
and things to work properly.

If using KLIPS with subnet, and not getting any route added, a message 
should be logged with an error.
