[Openswan Users] Question about leftnexthop configuration.(Retransmission)

[차현욱]

Hello, All.

We are using Openswan for our router products. While satisfied with almost everything, I want to ask a basic question via this mailing list.
Why should users configure leftnexthop parameters explicitly?
As long as I know, this field is not relevent to the IPSec protocol and packet forwarding is determined by routing table. 
Could you explain me the reason?

Thank you in advance.
