IPSec between pfSense Mobile Client <–> Windows XP with Linsys free VPN client

Does somebody already try (with success) configuring the pfSense mobile client "interface" and accessing it from Windows XP either by manipulating the Windows IPSec tool "ipseccmd.exe" or using a free client like "Linsys" (http://pfsense.com/index.php?id=33) ?

I'm using a "My Identifier" of type "Domain name" in the pfSense webGUI config. But where is the equivalent in Linsys, TauVPN or ipseccmd ? If somebody has a solution for ipseccmd I can make a small GUI frontend to automate this painly configuration process.

http://openbsd.cz/~pruzicka/vpn.html#4 is a good start with something like this :

ipseccmd.exe -u
ipseccmd.exe -f 0=192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -n ESP[3DES,SHA] -t xxx.dyndns.org -a PRESHARE:"shared_secret_password" -1s 3DES-SHA-2
ipseccmd.exe -f 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0=0 -n ESP[3DES,SHA] -t myipaddress -a PRESHARE:"shared_secret_password" -1s 3DES-SHA-2

The question is : how do I specify the server "My Identifier" field (i.e. a domain name) ?

Thanks a lot,
Fred.
