i don't understand your problem. normally you must configure at both sides acls
with networks, transmitting through the tunnel.
ok, at nortel it's a little bit different from acl of pix, but it works for me.

i often see at contivity multiple sa for the same tunnel too, but never on pix.
it really looks like, the sa is timed out, but not deleted. normally the
shortest lifetime of the peers will be taken. did you test it with a shorter
lifetime on contivity than on pix?
