1.1 misho 1: The peers <b>carol</b> and <b>moon</b> both have dynamic IP addresses, so that the remote end 2: is defined symbolically by <b>right=<hostname></b>. The ipsec starter resolves the 3: fully-qualified hostname into the current IP address via a DNS lookup (simulated by an 4: /etc/hosts entry). Since the peer IP addresses are expected to change over time, the option 5: <b>rightallowany=yes</b> will allow an IKE main mode rekeying to arrive from an arbitrary 6: IP address under the condition that the peer identity remains unchanged. When this happens 7: the old tunnel is replaced by an IPsec connection to the new origin. 8: <p> 9: In this scenario <b>moon</b> first initiates a tunnel to <b>carol</b>. After some time 10: the responder <b>carol</b> suddenly changes her IP address and restarts the connection to 11: <b>moon</b> without deleting the old tunnel first (simulated by iptables blocking IKE packets 12: to and from <b>carol</b> and starting the connection from host <b>dave</b> using 13: <b>carol</b>'s identity).
