    Hi,

    I have developed two enhancements for racoon.

    First one is simple support for 'keepalive' statement
    in racoon configuration file, which causes racoon
    to keep link up with remote end even when there is
    no traffic. It also does this when racoon is started,
    which is very nice since it also causes initial-contact
    notification to be sent to other end so possible old
    SAs are removed and connection comes up immediately
    (otherwise it comes up when the side which restarted
    sends something or SAs expire which can take longer time).

    Second one gives more support on environments which
    have multiple IP addresses on same interface. It allows
    selecting which local IP address to use when isakmp
    packets are sent.

    These things are currently under my testing, but I'm
    going to make them available publicly. Which would
    be the best approach for this - should I put
    the patches into freebsd racoon port or maybe pass
    them directly to kame project ?
