If I read the documentation correctly, ipsec saref only works if you're 
using Openswan KLIPS.  I've been using NETKEY.

Part of me is wondering how much pain I'm inflicting on myself by using 
NETKEY... but I'm seeing the  "IPsec SA established transport mode" 
message, so I'm thinking that the IPsec portion is working properly...

Would switching from NETKEY to KLIPS have any real effect on the 
problems I've been seeing?
