[strongSwan] Does Strongswan work with an IP address not associated with an interface?

[Leroy Tennison]

Did a little testing, it appears that an interface is needed, a dummy interface allowed a connection but I'm having other problems.  Need to do more testing before I post again.

I am trying to use Strongswan with an interface which exists only in firewall rules (and the destination/source IP addresses of packets).  This hasn't been a problem in other situations but, when I attempt it with Strongswan, I don't see any traffic at all in a packet trace (and I have used the tcpdump information from the Strongswan documentation).
