Hmmm...well, what I'd like is to be able to query the router for the
nets that are behind it, and automagically add those to the IPSEC
config.

I mean NATting them after decryption, so they can find their way back
to an arbitrary IPSEC router within the internal net and not go back
out the border router due to the outside source address. I sent a
post detailing this a couple of weeks ago. ("IPSEC into network behind
the primary router", 1/17/02)

Great! What a relief. I guess I've had a hard time understanding racoon.conf .

Ok, great.

Awesome. I've been searching the 'net for quite a while, but the docs
I've found seemed on the terse side. I'll give it a go and see what
happens. I have been able to get simple transport mode + shared secrets
working, so now I'll try out the certs.

Thanks a ton!
