[Openswan Users] IPSec SA estabished but no traffic goes out?

I have just noticed something odd...

looking at the tcpdump on eth0 again...

listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes
12:10:59.494690 IP [right] > ??????.pureserver.info: 
ESP(spi=0xef7a5888,seq=0x14)
12:10:59.494690 IP [right] > ??????.pureserver.info: icmp 24: echo request 
seq 42768
12:11:09.495042 IP [right] > ??????.pureserver.info: 
ESP(spi=0xef7a5888,seq=0x15)
12:11:09.495042 IP [right] > ??????.pureserver.info: icmp 24: echo request 
seq 43368

I only see packets coming in from the right side of the vpn, nothing is 
going back out.

I can ping the right ip address from ??????.pureserver.info and get replies 
and can also ping the ??????.pureserver.info and get replies from another 
ip.

Any ideas?

Martin.
