[Openswan Users] Routing Issue

[Luis Nagaki]

i actually found a site that had a howto for an iphone setup. which is
not what i want but i followed it but still nothing works.

i have in my vpnclient.conf on the client and server side..file
dpdaction=restart_by_peer b/c i have auto=start

when i reboot or restart the service on the client side, the routes
are gone. its not until i reboot the service on the server that the
routes come back =|.. im ALMOST there.. just need to fix this one
thing.
