Hi,

> How can create more then one child SA in same IKE SA

ipsec.conf connections get merged to the same configuration if they have
common properties for an IKE_SA (peer addresses, identities etc.).

You can, for example, define IKE_SA specific options in the %default
section, and then provide CHILD_SA specifics in separate conn entries.

Unless you set the charon.reuse_ikesa strongswan.conf option to "no",
connection initiation reuses an existing IKE_SA to create the additional
CHILD_SA.

Regards
Martin
