It should be the IP of your gateway, not the external ip of your roadwarrior.

If you can make an 'ipsec barf' of both 2.4.4. and 2.4.7 that includes
bringing up the connection, with the known configuration that works on 2.4.4
and gives an error on 2.4.7, that would be very helpful.

Also, if you can replace /usr/lib/ipsec/_updown with:
www.xtdnet.nl/paul/tmp/_updown on 2.4.7
and tell me if that fixes your problem, that would be great too.

(please leave the quoted bits above in replies you made, so I know which
 issue the bars are for)
