Can't help you b/c I gave up on ipsec since that required having
people at the other end (our IT department) involved and be responsive
if there's an issue. What've I've done instead to get intranet access
is just use SSH tunnels to get me to the main source repositories,
the imap server, and our internal squid proxy. I run squid on my system
at home and have it configured so that *mvista.com goes to the
squid over the SSH tunnel and everything else goes out the real pipe
so that my pr0n doesn't go through MV. Postfix can be configured the
same way so that email sent from @mvista.com and to @mvista.com route
through one smtp server over the tunnel and the rest go directly to
the outside world. Everything works OK and if you don't need to
share windows stuff with the main office, it's a much simpler solution
since it requires nothing more then a squid server at the main office
for remote web access.
