I'm using 2 FreeBSD machines to run both firewall and VPN (pipsecd) from my
office to my home.  Recently I setup a Cisco VPN solution for a client using
a PIX firewall and the Cisco Secure VPN client.  When I fire up the client
from behind my firewall I see in the Cisco client where the client
communicates with the PIX be when it tries to start an encrypted session it
fails, if accully times out.  Here is a copy of the log file from the
client:

08:28:21.660
08:28:21.770 San Ant - Initiating IKE Phase 1 (IP ADDR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

= 7B54D662 INBOUND SPI = 7936F764)
08:28:23.910

After moving my machine to the out side of my FreeBSD firewall and having it
work fine I started digging into my FreeBSD logs and found the a series of
entries:

Aug 22 10:14:28 bsdfirewall1 pipsecd[203]: unknown spi 2033645412
Aug 22 10:14:28 bsdfirewall1 pipsecd[203]: unknown spi from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

I have confirmed that these errors occur while the Cisco client is trying to
communicate with the PIX by doing a tail -f /var/log/messages and watching
as they try to communicate.

Is there a way to work around this?
