[Users] freeswan routing question (route to 0/0)

Hi,

Probably easiest just to give the setup:

<- internet Freeswan gateway/firewall ----> Freeswan client machine
   DYN IP 10.0.5.1 10.0.5.27

The tunnel is 0/0 -- 10.0.5.1 --- 10.0.5.27/32.

The tunnel is brought up fine, and the routes are correct for everything
apart from the LAN over which the tunnel is established:

10.0.5.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.27
10.0.5.0/24 dev ipsec0 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.5.27
127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link
0.0.0.0/1 via 10.0.5.1 dev ipsec0
128.0.0.0/1 via 10.0.5.1 dev ipsec0
default via 10.0.5.1 dev eth0

The problem is that 10.0.5.0/24 (the LAN) is not routed through the gateway.
I can get around this by simply deleting the link scope route, using a
custom _updown script. (btw, would other people find it useful to have
something along the lines of :

        SCRIPT="/etc/ipsec/$PLUTO_CONNECTION.updown"
        [ -x $SCRIPT ] && $SCRIPT up

in the _updown scripts, making it easy to have custom _updown rules that
simply modify the defaults? I've used this method for a while...)

The question is, have I got something wrong in my configuration or should
freeswan have put the (correct) routes in?

Mark
