You will need the "SAref tracking" feature for that. That will allow packets
to be marked with an saref number so you can have two 192.168.1.12's that
are still clearly seperate from each other.

Currently, this works providing you use:

- openswan 2.6.27+ (2.6.28dr3 recommended)
- KLIPS IPsec stack
- SAREF patches to the kernel (see openswan-2.6.x/patches/kernel/2.6.34/)
- xl2tpd with "ipsec saref" option enabled
- protostack=mast in ipsec.conf
- overlapip=yes in ipsec.conf

No additional client configuration is required. It works with Windows, OSX, iphones,
Linux, etc. as client.
