[Openswan Users] Dual VPN , Backup / Primary

[Binand Sethumadhavan]

Not out of the box as far as I can tell, but you can write a script
that would detect VPN failures (perhaps ping the remote gateway's
source IP) and swap config files and restart the VPN service. Another
option is to generate an SNMP trap upon VPN failure and let the trap
collector (Nagios would be ideal) execute the swap script. Somewhere
you might need to build intelligence to handle flaps (Nagios does
this).

If this is for EC2 VPC, I could never get it to work - so will be
interested if you did. :-) Please keep me/this list posted.
