[Openswan Users] Dummy question about the design-related issues for openswan on a 2.6 kernel

[Jorge Davila]

Hello:

May this is a dummy question, so, please, be gentle.

What is the meaning of this:

One side effect: When contacting a node on the local LAN which is protected
by gateway OE, you will get asymmetrical routing (one way through the 
gateway,
one way direct), and IPsec will drop the return packets.

I read that paragraph in the file

doc/2.6.known-issues
