Sorry about that, I wasn't sure where to send it to. I will be more
selective in the future.

Right, I just assumed the gif tunnel device was neccesary for esp/tunnel
mode. If you look at all the how-to's out there, it is pretty much a
given in all the examples. I stopped using it after I realized
checkpoint didn't even know what ipencap was.

It turned out to be a bad entry in a route table on the private
interface on the vpn1 box. Checkpoints log viewer had a pretty creative
interpretation of what traffic was being encrypted/passed and what was
wasnt. I am actually posting this msg via the ipsec tunnel from my
house. Woohoo! Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. I am happy to
say that freebsd has once again met all my expectations and more!
