[strongSwan] ipsec.conf left=%any

Hello,

In ipsec.conf on the client side, instead of using the client's own IP address for "left",
if I change it to "left=%any", then the "ipsec up home" appears to still connect correctly and
reaches the "connection 'home' estabished successfully" message.

There was however a "resolving 'any' failed: No address associated with hostname" message.
Is this ok, or must the client always specify its own ip address in the 'left=' line?

The intent behind this question is that if the client's address is not static IP, then it's
nicer for the script to be able to use any address for 'left.'

Thanks,
Peter
