OK, I'm getting the hang of this -- happy new year!

Anyway, I have a tunnel between two (2) Dachstein-CD firewall/gateways,
seperated by the big, bad internet ;>

I remain confused, however, *how* to test the encryption.  Yes, I
understand how, if both boxes were local and I could place a 3rd in
between; but, I cannot do that here.

While I'm on 192.168.123.110 (not a DCD firewall/gateway) I do this:

        ping -p feedfacedeadbeef 192.168.1.20

Then, I goto the other side (192.168.1.254, the remote DCD
firewall/gateway) and do this:

        tcpdump -tx icmp

However, I get this:

tcpdump: listening on ipsec0
192.168.1.20 > 192.168.123.110: icmp: echo reply
                         4500 0054 664b 0000 7f01 d78a c0a8 0114
                         c0a8 7b6e 0000 ff15 6d42 0000 3c31 6ffe
                         0000 5b58 feed face dead beef feed face
                         dead beef feed face dead beef feed face
                         dead beef

But, I never get any echo requests!

If I do this:

        ping -p feedfacedeadbeef 192.168.123.130

from 192.168.123.110 and do this:

        tcpdump -tx icmp

from 192.168.123.130, then I see this:

tcpdump: listening on eth0
192.168.123.110 > 192.168.123.130: icmp: echo request
                         4500 0054 3ea7 0000 4001 c3c0 c0a8 7b6e
                         c0a8 7b82 0800 42fd 7142 0000 3c31 701a
                         0008 0b4d feed face dead beef feed face
                         dead beef feed
192.168.123.130 > 192.168.123.110: icmp: echo reply
                         4500 0054 f096 0000 ff01 52d0 c0a8 7b82
                         c0a8 7b6e 0000 4afd 7142 0000 3c31 701a
                         0008 0b4d feed face dead beef feed face
                         dead beef feed

Yes, I know that the FreeS/WAN FAQ emphatically states that this
scenario, testing with tcpdump on either gateway, will be confusing;
but, however else can I test this setup?

What do you think?
