I got it up and running after some debugging, finally it seems to boil down to the fact that the zywall supports ranges on the ip addresses whereas freeSwan only supports entire subnets. For ipsec a range from 0 to 255 is _NOT_ a subnet.
I have now a tunnel between a Zywall10 and a LEAF Bering 1.0rc3 and I am pretty sure this is valid for the entire Zyxel Zywall range. Ping from one subnet to the other typically take 25 ms due to the encryption overhead I guess, but I am wondering if this is limited by the Zywall or the LEAF box. If someone has a running installation between 2 LEAF boxes I'd be interested in the numbers.
Thanks for the help
Erich

Your setting up a gw-gw tunnel, whereas many commercial routers will only connect to a host-host type configuration.... this may be the reason for the error. Drop your subnet options and see if SA is initiated.
