Hi Anand,

Not sure what exactly the problem is but I suspect it might be related
to the times you configured above (at least partially).

Please have a look at the wiki page documenting how rekey times are
calculated [1].  As you can see, the values 5m for keylife (lifetime)
and 3m for rekeymargin (margintime) are problematic - it could even
disable rekeying (rekeytime = 5m - random(3m..6m)).

Please increase lifetime and see if that fixes the problem (also,
updating to a more recent release wouldn't hurt).

Regards,
Tobias
