    Openswan is probably ok if you use the Linux kernel ipsec. The
    freeS/wan kernel patch (klips) had some issues and didnt' work with
    advanced routing and so on. I am using the racoon keying daemon with
    the Linux kernel ipsec (backported from 2.6 to 2.4 by Debian kernel
    maintainer) and it's fairly straight forward to set up.
