Security Association.  IPSEC cryptographic parameters are indexed on
both endpoints using the tuple <source-IP,dest-IP,SAID>, so if you
change either address you have irretrievably corrupted the packet.
(The fact that IPSEC can't be NAT'ed is considered by many people to
be a Good Thing.)

I can't parse this.

You'll need the KAME kit for FreeBSD 3.5 in order to terminate an
IPSEC tunnel there.
