[Openswan Users] hi, does openswan support multiple instances on one server.?

[SilverTip257]

Spacelee,

Please explain why you need staff and manager to use a different tunnel?
Provide a use case or relatively detailed scenario.

At this point I don't see why one tunnel wouldn't be fine for everything.

Regards,
