[Openswan Users] netkey communication issue with local subnet

[David Price]

I have a VPN connection on an OpenWRT Backfire 10.03 router. The VPN is
working fine. This is the first time I am using NETKEY, so I'm not sure
if this is normal or not. But, as soon as the VPN connection is
established I lose the ability for the router (10.200.3.254) and its
local internal network (10.200.3.*) to communicate (in either
direction). However, every other communication in every direction works
just fine.  

Do I need to add something to my configuration to keep this from
happening with NETKEY? 

TIA
