Assuming that there is an existing IPsec connection between SG1 and
SG2 (presumably initiated by SG1) then it is possible to establish a
TCP or UDP session from SG2 to SG1. However, as default (Super)
FreeS/WAN doesn't contain the necessary functionality to do this. The
kernel changes required to support this are quite small. I've never
looked at what it would take to change pluto since I did the above
using a different (proprietary) keying daemon.
