Not certain if this can help you, but here's a piece of information. When
using default route-based conns, you can simply sidestep the need to use
nexthop in this fashion:

Remember, that you can call customized _updown scripts per connection by the
"updown" parameter in ipsec.conf. I don't know of your plans to load-balance
your IPSec connections, so I can't make a specific recommendation.
