Hi Dan,

> 08[CFG] received stroke: initiate 'rem'
> 08[IKE] unable to initiate to %any

Side note: As a responder, it is sufficient to set auto=add. auto=start
doesn't work, as the remote IP is not known.

The first IKE_SA_INIT exchange succeeds, but then no IKE_AUTH is
received. Either the playbook does not receive the IKE_SA_INIT response,
or its IKE_AUTH doesn't make it to us.

IKE_AUTH might switch to port 4500, and I see that you have a double-NAT
situation. Can you confirm that packets should get through on port 4500?
If it is the case you might try to sniff traffic on the playbook segment
to see which packet gets lost.

Regards
Martin
