[Openswan Users] Is more than one network behind a remote gateway possible?

Hello,

I'm succesfully running a site to site tunnel. While the LAN on our side
of the tunnel is pretty small (just a /26 network), the LAN on the other
side is much bigger (currently a /16 network). The gateway on the other
side is a Checkpoint FW-1, while we use OpenSwan.

currently the other side uses 172.22.0.0/16.

Config looks like this:

---8<---
conn exampleconfig
        authby=secret
        esp=3des-sha1-96
        right=abc.def.ghi.ijk
        rightsubnet=172.22.0.0/16
        rightrsasigkey=%none
        leftnexthop=www.xxx.yyy.zzc
        left=www.xxx.yyy.zzz
        leftsubnet=192.168.24.64/24
        leftrsasigkey=%none
        leftcert=
        pfs=no
        auto=add
        type=tunnel
        keylife=
        ikelifetime=
---8<---

Unfortunately it is now required that some machines on the other side
need to use the tunnel too, that use IP addresses from the range
172.21.0.0/16. 

I could of course use 172.20.0.0/14 for rightsubnet, which covers
everyting from 172.20.0.0 to 172.23.255.255 or try to add
172.21..0.0/16.

Is it possible list more than one network for rightsubnet like the
following example? 

---8<---
conn exampleconfig
        authby=secret
        esp=3des-sha1-96
        right=abc.def.ghi.ijk
        rightsubnet=172.21.0.0/16 172.22.0.0/16
        rightrsasigkey=%none
        leftnexthop=www.xxx.yyy.zzc
        left=www.xxx.yyy.zzz
        leftsubnet=192.168.24.64/24
        leftrsasigkey=%none
        leftcert=
        pfs=no
        auto=add
        type=tunnel
        keylife=
        ikelifetime=
---8<---

If yes, what is correct syntax when listing more than one network, how
to separate the entries (space, comma ...)?

Thanks, best wishes
Wolfgang
