Hi, I have developed two enhancements for racoon. First one is simple support for 'keepalive' statement in racoon configuration file, which causes racoon to keep link up with remote end even when there is no traffic. It also does this when racoon is started, which is very nice since it also causes initial-contact notification to be sent to other end so possible old SAs are removed and connection comes up immediately (otherwise it comes up when the side which restarted sends something or SAs expire which can take longer time). Second one gives more support on environments which have multiple IP addresses on same interface. It allows selecting which local IP address to use when isakmp packets are sent. These things are currently under my testing, but I'm going to make them available publicly. Which would be the best approach for this - should I put the patches into freebsd racoon port or maybe pass them directly to kame project ? Ari S. Lapppeenranta, Finland
