The peer seems to possess a DNS subjectAltName. Try

        rightid=@c600.bdunn.com
        rightcert=c600.bdunn.com.pem

if c600.bdunn.com.pem possesses such a subjectAltName

This error message just means that no CA certificate is present. This is
not fatal if you load the cert directly using rightcert=c600.bdunn.com.pem

Not fatal, see above comment

Just add the rightid=@c600.bdunn.com entry in ipsec.conf
