[Openswan Users] subnet-to-subnet VPN, doesn't route how I want

[Simon Detheridge]

Hello,

I have a subnet-to-subnet VPN, which connects my local subnet,  
192.168.2.x, to a remote one, 10.0.0.x.

On my side, I have a gentoo server running openswan and kernel-2.6. On  
the other end, there is a sonicwall device.

The connection works fine, apart from one thing. All the machines on  
my local network can ping machines on the remote network, with the  
exception of the server itself. If I try ping 10.0.0.5, I get no  
replies back. However, if I do a ping 10.0.0.5 -I 192.168.2.1, forcing  
'ping' to bind to the LAN address (instead of the internet address, I  
guess) it works.

I want packets that originate at the local server to always be able to  
get to the remote network.

I think the normal way to achieve this is to set up a second host ->  
subnet VPN tunnel, for the server in question. I can't do that here  
however, as the sonicwall refuses to set up a second connection to the  
same gateway IP address.

Is there anything I can do with iptables, or routing, that will enable  
me to make this happen?

Thanks
