> We are using Openswan 2.4.8 (KLIPS + NAT_T)

upgrade to at least 2.4.14

> The Network topology is as follow:
> 192.168.0.0/24---------left_vpn(10.0.0.0/8)---------NAT Router---------Router---------NAT
> Router--------right_vpn(20.0.0.0/8)-------200.0.0.0/24
> Using Redhat Linux 9.0 (Kernel 2.4.20) our configuration worked correctly as expected and the two networks (192 and 200) could

It should work, show us logs (or ipsec barf)
