      I have had a IPSec tunnel running between 2 offices for a few months now.  Suddenly this morning the tunnel stopped passing traffic.  1 end has a public IP address and the other is NATed behind another device that passes all but port 3389 to it.  The NATed side has a dynamic public IP address,  DynDNS is being updated and being used.  Each site had internet access and the IPSec status said the tunnel was up.  I restarted Raccoon on both ends then the tunnel came up and passed traffic.

      Site A PFsense -> NAT Device -> INTERNET <-Site B PFsense

      Is there a reason this happens and should I plan on restarting the raccoon service occasionally?
