You still haven't told us much about the software you're using.  What 
release of FreeBSD are you using?  (From your description of he problem 
you might be using 2.x or 3.x.)  What's in your kernel config?  How do 
you start pipsecd?  What's in your pipsecd.conf file (don't list your 
passwords)?  ...

Just a guess (still don't know what software you're using but assuming 
FreeBSD 2.x or 3.x), but increase the number of tun devices from 2 to 
4.  Pipsecd uses 2 tun devices per VPN tunnel.

As a cautionary note, not providing all of the relevant background 
information to solve a problem will result in no solution and possibly 
even insults.
