The peers <b>carol</b>, <b>dave</b>, and <b>moon</b> all have dynamic IP addresses,
|
||||
so that the remote end is defined symbolically by <b>right=<hostname></b>.
|
||||
The ipsec starter resolves the fully-qualified hostname into the current IP address
|
||||
via a DNS lookup (simulated by an /etc/hosts entry). Since the peer IP addresses are
|
||||
expected to change over time, the option <b>rightallowany=yes</b> will allow an IKE
|
||||
main mode rekeying to arrive from an arbitrary IP address under the condition that
|
||||
the peer identity remains unchanged. When this happens the old tunnel is replaced
|
||||
by an IPsec connection to the new origin.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In this scenario both <b>carol</b> and <b>dave</b> initiate a tunnel to
|
||||
<b>moon</b> which has a named connection definition for each peer. Although
|
||||
the IP addresses of both <b>carol</b> and <b>dave</b> are stale, thanks to
|
||||
the <b>rightallowany=yes</b> flag <b>moon</b> will accept the IKE negotiations
|
||||
from the actual IP addresses.
