James,

I see that you have put a lot of thought into this issue already. You
addressed all the important issues for a client-oriented VPN.
You ideas sound interesting to me. Looks like this would work.
I am thinking that for this (client-oriented) scenario one could optionally
leave out the certificate-based authentication and only use pre-shared secrets.
This, combined with a one-time password system, should give sufficient
security while reducing the complexity of such a solution.

Stephan

The fork project is definitely high on the wish list right now, and I was
contemplating jumping into it after 1.5 is released.
