KP and Brock, I too have been looking at this, now my suggestion is to look firstly at a ping check of a single packet to the dynamic dns name of the far end, if it is different to what you either thought it was last time, or different to what ipsec eroute thinks the far end is, tear it down and rebuild.
This may require long retries at both ends, unless you time synchronise both ends, (easy) and crontab the jobs to do all this. Only thing holding me back from this is time and a near complete lack of shell scripting knowledge and experience. How does this sound?
