[Sorry I resend this because it seems as if my subject line
was turning everyone off from looking at this.]

Below is what could be a cookbook recipe for IPsec tunnels. However,
unfortunately it's a bug report. I would like some of you to try
this out and confirm the problem for me, may be find the error on
my part, or make suggestions on how to work around this problem.

If you have an older KAME release, you may not see this bug 
instantaneously, instead you will notice a kernel panic when
running the network for some time under higher load (~ 2 Mb/s).

On KAME-SNAP as of last March no kernel panic occurs but this 
problem can be seen instantaneously.

Here is how it goes:

You need three machines A and B, and C. We begin with A and B:

On machine A run:

if=ed0
aip=10.10.10.1
bip=10.10.10.2
aipsec=10.99.10
bipsec=10.99.20
ifconfig ${if} inet alias ${aip} netmask 0xffffff00
ifconfig lo0 inet alias ${aipsec}.1 netmask 0xffffff00
route add -net ${bipsec}.0/24 ${aipsec}.1
setkey -c <<END
spdflush;
add ${aip} ${bip} esp 1000 -E simple;
add ${bip} ${aip} esp 1001 -E simple;
spdadd ${aipsec}.0/24 ${bipsec}.0/24 any -P out ipsec
  esp/tunnel/${aip}-${bip}/require;
spdadd ${bipsec}.0/24 ${aipsec}.0/24 any -P in ipsec
  esp/tunnel/${bip}-${aip}/require;
END

On machine B run

if=sis0
aip=10.10.10.1
bip=10.10.10.2
aipsec=10.99.10
bipsec=10.99.20
ifconfig ${if} inet alias ${bip} netmask 0xffffff00
ifconfig lo0 inet alias ${bipsec}.1 netmask 0xffffff00
route add -net ${aipsec}.0/24 ${bipsec}.1
setkey -c <<END
spdflush;
add ${aip} ${bip} esp 1000 -E simple;
add ${bip} ${aip} esp 1001 -E simple;
spdadd ${aipsec}.0/24 ${bipsec}.0/24 any -P in ipsec
  esp/tunnel/${aip}-${bip}/require;
spdadd ${bipsec}.0/24 ${aipsec}.0/24 any -P out ipsec
  esp/tunnel/${bip}-${aip}/require;
END

ping ${aip}
ping ${aipsec}.1

should get responses, likewise, one machine A

ping ${bip}
ping ${bipsec}.1

should get responses just fine.

Now comes the problem, lets add another machine C into
the group. Configure machine C:

if=tl0
aip=10.10.10.1
cip=10.10.10.3
aipsec=10.99.10
cipsec=10.99.30
ifconfig ${if} inet alias ${cip} netmask 0xffffff00
ifconfig lo0 inet alias ${cipsec}.1 netmask 0xffffff00
route add -net ${aipsec}.0/24 ${cipsec}.1
setkey -c <<END
spdflush;
add ${aip} ${cip} esp 2000 -E simple;
add ${cip} ${aip} esp 2001 -E simple;
spdadd ${aipsec}.0/24 ${cipsec}.0/24 any -P in ipsec
  esp/tunnel/${aip}-${cip}/require;
spdadd ${cipsec}.0/24 ${aipsec}.0/24 any -P out ipsec
  esp/tunnel/${cip}-${aip}/require;
END

As you see, C only has a tunnel to A. Beause A is supposed to
be the logical gateway, the hub, the center of a star topology. 
Which means we add this to A:

cip=10.10.10.3
cipsec=10.99.30
route add -net ${cipsec}.0/24 ${aipsec}.1
setkey -c <<END
add ${aip} ${cip} esp 2000 -E simple;
add ${cip} ${aip} esp 2001 -E simple;
spdadd ${aipsec}.0/24 ${cipsec}.0/24 any -P out ipsec
  esp/tunnel/${aip}-${cip}/require;
spdadd ${cipsec}.0/24 ${aipsec}.0/24 any -P in ipsec
  esp/tunnel/${cip}-${aip}/require;
END

ping ${cip}
# works
ping ${cipsec}.1
# doesn't work
ping ${bipsec}.1
# works

Now delete the SPD entried for B:

setkey -c <<END
spddelete ${aipsec}.0/24 ${bipsec}.0/24 any -P out;
spddelete ${bipsec}.0/24 ${aipsec}.0/24 any -P in;
END

And try again:

ping ${cipsec}.1

This time it works. Now lets add the SPD for the B-tunnel 
back in:

setkey -c <<END
spdadd ${aipsec}.0/24 ${bipsec}.0/24 any -P out ipsec
  esp/tunnel/${aip}-${bip}/require;
spdadd ${bipsec}.0/24 ${aipsec}.0/24 any -P in ipsec
  esp/tunnel/${bip}-${aip}/require;
END

ping ${cipsec}.1

still works! BUT:

ping ${bipsec}.1

doesn't work now.

The problem is entirely on A's side as I can show you with
a tcpdump trace. On C I say:

tcpdump -n -i tl0 host ${aip}

And now I do

ping ${cipsec}.1

tcpdump shows:
19:51:30.945747 10.10.10.1 > 10.10.10.3: ESP(spi=2000,seq=0x14)
19:51:30.945915 10.10.10.3 > 10.10.10.1: ESP(spi=2001,seq=0x24)
19:51:31.953169 10.10.10.1 > 10.10.10.3: ESP(spi=2000,seq=0x15)
19:51:31.953300 10.10.10.3 > 10.10.10.1: ESP(spi=2001,seq=0x25)

as it should, and remember, the C-tunnel works now. Let's go
to B and 

ping ${aipsec}.1

tcpdump shows:
19:55:21.963950 10.10.10.2 > 10.10.10.1: ESP(spi=1001,seq=0x42)
19:55:22.975435 10.10.10.2 > 10.10.10.1: ESP(spi=1001,seq=0x43)

see how A never sends an icmp echo reply? It is because it 
never gets the icmp messages to the upper layer. Instead

netstat -s -p ip
ip:
        2313 total packets received
        0 bad header checksums
        0 with size smaller than minimum
        0 with data size < data length
        0 with ip length > max ip packet size
        0 with header length < data size
        0 with data length < header length
        0 with bad options
        0 with incorrect version number
        0 fragments received
        0 fragments dropped (dup or out of space)
        0 fragments dropped after timeout
        0 packets reassembled ok
        2033 packets for this host
>>>>>>  267 packets for unknown/unsupported protocol
        0 packets forwarded (0 packets fast forwarded)
        0 packets not forwardable
        13 packets received for unknown multicast group
        0 redirects sent
        1374 packets sent from this host
        0 packets sent with fabricated ip header
        0 output packets dropped due to no bufs, etc.
        0 output packets discarded due to no route
        0 output datagrams fragmented
        0 fragments created
        0 datagrams that can't be fragmented
        0 tunneling packets that can't find gif
        0 datagrams with bad address in header

As you see, the unknown/unsupported protocol counter goes up with
every icmp request sent. But, the "packets for this host" counter
doen not go up. This means, the packets are not even seen as 
belonging to this host!!!

Now let's turn this around once again. Disabling SPD entries for
C and you'll see how B comes back on line:

setkey -c <<END
spddelete ${aipsec}.0/24 ${cipsec}.0/24 any -P out;
spddelete ${cipsec}.0/24 ${aipsec}.0/24 any -P in;
END

ping ${bipsec}.1

works again!

Now to go full circle, let's reestablish C's SPD entries

setkey -c <<END
spdadd ${aipsec}.0/24 ${cipsec}.0/24 any -P out ipsec
  esp/tunnel/${aip}-${cip}/require;
spdadd ${cipsec}.0/24 ${aipsec}.0/24 any -P in ipsec
  esp/tunnel/${cip}-${aip}/require;
END

ping ${bipsec}.1

still works, BUT

ping ${cipsec}.1

doesn't work. Using tcpdump and netstat shows exactly the 
same behavior.

O.K. I hope this is sufficient documentation for the bug
in question. I also hope that this documentation makes
reproduction as easy as possible. Please try it and see
for yourself.
