I think this would be easier than to tunnel ipsec through from a
windows client behind your firewall.
Add these config options to your ipsec.conf if you
want to connect vom linux to checkpoint:
keyingtries=0
pfs=no
Currently I try exactly this, migrating from manuall configured
iptables/ipsec to shorewall. Your experiences may help me.
