Okay, thanks.  For --reqid...  Do you think that's sufficient to base
firewall rules off of?  Can it be somehow 'faked' by the
remote/potentially untrusted side?  That's my main issue.  If it can't
and will only match if the ipsec packet is valid and coming from that
network then I don't need to care about --spid and will just use
--reqid...

	Thanks,
