I have included my configuration and my testbed network as text files
attachments.
In my configuration eth0 is the external interfaces for the freeswan
servers.

my two freeswan servers are jabba and thehut (I know, how origanal)
with the host names jabba0,jabba1 and thehut0,thehut1
jabba0 and thehut0 are both eth0 which is the external interfaces.

If I however do a traceroute -i eth1 jabba1 from thehut the traceroute is a
success and I can see in the tcpdump that the connection is being encrypted,
also if I do a traceroute -i eth1 thehut1 from jabba again a success and
encryption.

jeez, I hope that made sence to you guys.

Is FreeS/WAN complaining about rp_filter when it starts? Ensure that
rp_filter is off for both the ipsec interface and the physical interface
it is linked to on both machines.

Have you made firewall holes (if applicable)? UDP/500 and protocol 50 at a
minimum.

The two sides can agree on a tunnel, but this might be incorrect when
compared to the network topology. Post a brief description of your network
as
well as configuration details. Logs will help as well.
