I thought it was going to work after Guido pointed out that I was using
tunnel mode vs. transport. I  changed it over to transport and could not get
it to work under any conditions.  I tried gif rules, internal network rules
before and after the divert and many other methods including using a allow
all from any to any ruleset and could not get this to work so I am reverting
back.  I am honestly lost at this point and need to do the tcpdumps that
david has done to see what is going wrong.

I'm confused. So, let me try to summarize things:

  Right now, if you use IPSec tunnel mode with a 'gif' interface, and
  suppose your Ethernet driver is fxp0, then incoming packets will
  pass through ipfw twice: first, as encrypted ESP packets and 'in
  via fxp0', and again, as decrypted whatever packets and 'in via
  gif0'.

Is that correct??

Guido seems to think so... but Scott Ullrich wrote:

So Scott seems to be saying that it is NOT correct. Scott: can you please
confirm/deny?

----------

Secondly, is the question of what to do about IPSec tunnel mode.

I vote for creating a new pseudo-interface 'ipsec0'. This interface will
automatically get created and attached the first time a tunnel mode IPSec
packet is de-encapsulated and put back on ipintrq.
