Well, dpdaction=hold didn't remedy it and neither did auto=add. The only 
tunnel for which I don't get these messages is where I have set the Draytek 
to Both.

I recently saw a short thread between you and Paul about this Draytek 
setting, where Paul suggested Dial-Out works better. I also saw you had 
disabled openswan initiating rekeying by specifying rekey=no. It turns out 
that that is the setting I need.

Thanks,

roel
