Hi,

In order to make use of IKE you have to use racoon or isakmpd.
on both sites the conf must be exactly the same in order to make ipsec work.
However, suppose one site uses racoon and the other isakmpd, would
it be possible that that is gonna work, or is racoon only gonna work
when on the other site also racoon is installed in which cases there
is little compatibility in either racoon or isakmpd.
Bye,

Mipam.
