[strongSwan] Connectio breakdown on activating another

Hi Jan,

the reason is the default setting of uniqueids=yes which
allows only one connection per ID. Since both dave4 and
dave6 use the DN in carol.pem as an ID, the previous
connection is always killed. If you want to change this
behaviour, set

config setup
   uniqueids=no

in ipsec.conf

Regards

Andreas
