It may help if I give some more details about my connection:

me at linux (192.168.100.2)
|
my router (192.168.100.1)
|
cable modem (a.b.c.d)
|
:
:
|
sonicwall (w.x.y.z)
|
private network (172.20.201.0/24)

By following instructions in a sonicwall tech note [1], I am able to 
negotiate a tunnel with the sonicwall gateway.  I can send pings into 
the tunnel, but I never receive any response; wireshark shows me that my 
traffic really is entering the tunnel.

Inside the private network, there is a dhcp server: 172.20.201.32.  I 
need to obtain a private ip address from this dhcp server.

Does openswan support dhcp-over-ipsec?

If not, is there some other way I might be able to speak dhcp with 
172.20.201.32?
