IPSec reconnections

[ImTheDave]

HI folks,

I have a site-to-site IPSec tunnel. Works, but there's a weird thing that happens that I just can't figure out.

Specifically, when the link disconnects for whatever reason, the ONLY way it will reconnect is if I stop the IPSec daemon at both sites, and specifically restart site #1 first, followed by site #2.

If the link drops and I simply click "reconnect", it goes into a cycle of trying and failing.

If I restart the IPSec daemon at site #2 followed by site #1, it will go into a cycle of trying and failing.

Any thoughts as to what I've likely managed to mess up in my config?

Alternatively, should I be looking at some kind of script to automatically bounce the IPSec daemon if the link fails?

Any help would be really appreciated!
