The roadwarriors carol and dave both set up a connection to gateway moon. The roadwarriors each unilaterally define a static virtual IP using the leftsourceip parameter. In order to detect potential address conflicts, the roadwarriors send their virtual IPs embedded in a configuration payload to moon for verification. In our scenario carol and dave both request the same IP address. These requests are overridden by gateway moon which assigns a distinct virtual IP to each road warrior.
