Linksys BEFVP41 with concurrent tunnels



I am using three BEFVP41 routers for site-to-site LAN connections over
VPN. Two routers connect remote sites with dynamic IP addresses to a
main site with a static IP address. The connections are initiated by
traffic originating at the remote sites. With one site connected, the
tunnel comes up (and stays up) automatically. But the second site does
not connect. The main router's tunnels are configured to accept
connections from ANY Remote Security Gateway. When main router's
tunnels are changed to only accept connections from a specific
domainname or a specific IP address, the VPN connections come right up.
But since these remote sites are on dynamic IP addresses, that is not
a permanent solution. My guess is that since the only difference
between the two tunnels is the subnet, that once a connection is made,
the main router does not know how match the second connection request
to a tunnel definition. Any ideas on how to change this configuration
to solve this problem? Details are below. Thanks in advance, Claeton

Name, IP Address, Location
--------------------------------------------------
R1, static, main site
R2, dynamic, remote site
R3, dynamic, remote site

R1 SETTINGS

Mask: 255.255.255.0
Remote Secure Group: Subnet
IP: 192.168.100.0
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Remote Security Gateway: Any
Encryption: 3DES
Authentication: MD5
Key Management: Auto. (IKE)
PFS: Enabled
Pre-shared Key: abcdef

ADVANCED SETTINGS:
Phase 1:

Phase 2:

The second tunnel is the same as the first except for the remote
subnet:
Tunnel Name: VP2
Remote Secure Group: Subnet
IP: 192.168.101.0
Mask: 255.255.255.0

R2's and R3's VPN setting are *exactly* the same, except that they have
different Local Secure Group subnets.

R2 SETTINGS

R3 SETTINGS are the same as R2 EXCEPT for the subnet:
---------------------
