Well, what do the logs on the Netscreen say?

I threw this together, based on an old post that I made:

I am pretty sure that you can’t have 2 routes to 2 subnets that are the
different, but the numbered the same. Generally speaking, even, regardless
of whether freeswan is involved. How would you know where to send a packet
to? If a ping starts on one machine, destined for 192.168.10.1, how can you
possibly know which 192.168.10.1 it should go to, if you have more than one?

Or am I completely misunderstanding your comment?
